Hi all- Rewiring my system to make ready for a Tivo shortly. I just ran 2 coax runs that will be home runs from the dish (actually, dish - multi switch - ~60' run) and I was thinking about terminating those 2 runs into a wall plate, then having some jumpers go from there to my Tivo. Is...

Hey gang- I have an old 35" Sony TV. Its the series that came before the XBR and Wega stuff... Piano black case, flat glass top to bottom, but curves left to right. Anyhow, it has had this wonderful trait the past few years; it will occasionally stop firing the tube. When I had sound...

Hi All- So my wife starts going off on DVDs the other day. We rent a movie, and its forcing us to watch a bunch of crummy trailers we didnt care about. Wont let me go to the menu, or skip the stuff. The evil X shows me the DVD wont allow it! And so my Wife starts tearing into the DVDs and how...

Hi all- I recently took the opportunity to pick up an Onkyo TX-SR600 receiver and their HT-100 5.1 speakers to go with. Got em from a friend who was moving, very little use. They sound great! After reading here, and reading the manuals, I am a bit humbled as to my lack of HT knowledge. I...
