    Things I wish I would have done differently in my project

    Tom - you can get an in line fan booster at home depot that will increase the cfm's from your duct ( runs all the time). also try to resrict some of the other ducts in other rooms via the vent cover plate louvers while opening the HT rooms wide open , this will also help .

    slow moving ripple across screen

    i think it is more in the processing of the video , since it is not a constant . i dont see it on ntsc broadcast or directv, just under prog scan dvd . and i thought to rule out contamination because it is a clear line wave hardly noticable and every few minutes, wouldnt a signal contamination...
