    Direct TV signal & large screens

    i have a question -- will the problems with a direct tv/tivo receiver (combo receiver) affect all large screens pretty equally across the board? i tested out the samsung HLM507W DLP yesterday and it's a great tv- but it doesn't handle direct tv/tivo feed well. am i correct to assume that...

    center channel placement

    any reason not to put a center channel speaker (klipsch) in a cabinet under the tv? this cabinet is designed to hold the center channel- it would be directly below the tv shelf and also have a removable grill cover. thanks!

    Ultimate TV/ Direct TV receiver

    THANKS robert for the link and confirmation- one last question- does it matter where along the lines i put the switch? for simplistic sake, i'd like to just take the current line which goes into my home theatre system and just split that line, so i get the two feeds to the new UTV receiver and...
