Author Topic: Zipporama screening room on TV tonight Dan Lyons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 698 From: Seal Beach, CA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 06-06-2003 01:23 AM                     Tonight on HGTV, on the show "Extreme Homes" a fifteen minute segement was done on the Zippo house. One thing that was stated I must disagree with. It was said about how much space needed, and the reply was along the lines of "you can't fit this in a normal house". Sorry, just not true, unless you are talking about a huge auditorium instead of just a "screening room". I believe the show repeats tomorrow.

That must've been shot years ago. He is completely out of film now. There are pictures in the warehouse here.  |  IP: Logged Dan Lyons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 698 From: Seal Beach, CA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 06-06-2003 03:45 AM                     Thanks for the info Brad. That would explain why I've never seen him posting here or on any collector forums. Strange though, the show "Extreme Homes" is billed as a new show. They must have gotten that footage from some older show.

What does that stand for? Anyone know what channel that is on DirecTV? I would be interested in seeing the segment.  |  IP: Logged Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 06-06-2003 06:31 AM                     HGTV is Home and Garden Television. It is from the same people that do the Food Channel. It's been around for awhile, and they do have some interesting shows.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 06-06-2003 01:48 PM                  Brad, if you weren't so damn cheap and would spring for a good DirecTV receiver, or learn how to operate the one you have, you would notice *that* HGTV is on channel 229. AND by highlighting the HGTV logo, it would let you know *that* HGTV is the "Home and Garden Television" network. >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 06-06-2003 02:18 PM                     Tonight's show is some Alabama home on a boat. Oh well, if anyone sees the Zipporama one repeat, please post it so we can watch. Thanks for the info Phil. Whatever would I do without you?  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-06-2003 02:29 PM                     I'm addicted to HGTV along with the Food Network. But I have now moved to my new house where I am going without TV for the Summer in hopes I will get the Landscaping done. Ky tells me that HGTV stands for Homo and Gay Television. His favorite are the Designer Guys, but I think they are the Discovery Home Channel. This post with my new photo is doing nothing for my reputation.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-07-2003 01:22 AM                     So, Zipadedodah!

The installation was nice, with a lobby sporting a concession stand, and the room was large but with an uncomfortably low ceiling. The speakers appeared to be located in front of and on each side of the respectably-sized screen. Look in on http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/remodeling/article/0,1797,HGTV_3659_2026725,00.html for a peek at this basement conversion. However, the episode that Danny was referring to is found at http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/remodeling/article/0,1797,HGTV_3659_1369296,00.html  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-16-2003 10:10 PM                     Personally if I was one of those two people I wouldn't want the exposure it might give to posessing a very valualable film collection...... Too many others have learned the hard way...... Mark  |  IP: Logged
