    Apparently the DMZ+/lease issues is unique to the Pace 5268AC gateway and the firmware. Known issue according to many and AT&T is not inclined to fix it...

    Atmos 5.1.4 Ceiling Speaker location

    Hey all, So I recently upgraded to a Denon AVR-X4300H and am not looking to add the ceiling speakers for a 5.1.4 Atmos/Auro-3D setup. Through reading of various articles is appears Atmos has some of the more restrictive speaker locations, so I figure I would use that as the basis. Below is a...

    Blown Speaker?

    Morning everyone. I am trying to determine what may be happening in my home theater. A couple months ago a got "screeching" through my speakers. It happened again tonight on Rogue One. It usually happens during a loud scene. I'm not sure if this is clipping or something else. I have run this...

    Win a Denon X5200W 9.2 channel Dolby Atmos AVR with a copy of Insurgent on Blu-ray!

    I am setting up a new HT (downsizing) in a new home. So a new Atmos receiver would be a great way to start the process. I have access to the the ceiling through the attic so adding the ceiling speakers would be a relatively easy process. Then sit down with Insurgent and let er rip.

    Downsizing HT

    Good day and sorry for the dissertation. I am being relocated for my job and will be downsizing my house and unfortunately my home theater. My current custom built theater is 15X22 (pictures attached and layout), my new theater is 9X18 (and there lies problem #1 – divisible walls). I...

    spray foam insulation and running wires

    My concern is not the CL rating...it is how to get through the spray foam insulation. My understanding is it is not easy.

    spray foam insulation and running wires

    Not sure if this is in the right place... So we are moving into a new build house and it has a room dedicated to as a "media room" that is pre-wired for 5.1...in the wrong orientation. The room is 9X18 (I will have to treat for the room modes) and it currently is wired for the screen to go on...

    Win an Onkyo TX-NR1030 9.2 channel Dolby Atmos AV Receiver

    So I am getting ready to move (house hunting next week) and will be designing my next home theater. It would be great to get the latest surround format designed in from the start. This receiver would fit the bill very nicely.

    Win an Onkyo TX-NR1030 9.2 channel Dolby Atmos AV Receiver

    I am getting ready to move and will likely convey my current set-up. My new house will present a blank slate to design a new home theater and I would love to do it with the latest gear and formats. I currently have an older Onkyo receiver and have been very happy with it - time to jump on the...

    Video and sound stuttering

    So my victory was an illusion...the stuttering is back. I am at the end of my trouble shooting skills. I did test the same setup on my second HTPC in my theater in the basement and everything worked fine. I also set up WMC on my desktop PC in the office and everything worked fine. So I...

    Video and sound stuttering

    Ok, hesitant to call victory quite yet, but I went in the server Network Adapter settings and changed Speed and Duplex from Auto Negotiation to 1.0 Gbps Full Duplex. Things seem to be working now...so we shall see.

    Video and sound stuttering

    So I recorded a show and left it on the local hard drive and it played fine; but as soon as I sent it to the server...it stuttered. So I am coming down to either the network or the server as the issue. I have already tried 2 different gigabyte switches. Any ideas how to start determining...

    Video and sound stuttering

    so if I pause the show, wait a bit, and then start it back up...I get perfect playback for short period of time (about the same as the pause length)...is there a buffer/queue somewhere that can be changed? I have actually started to wonder if I go the XBMC (Kodi) route with WMC as my backend...

    Video and sound stuttering

    Hello everyone. So a while back I posted about wanting to get bitstream over HDMI and my current system didn't support it. So I bought a new graphic card and got video and sound through the HDMI cable...for about 2 days. Now I can't get smooth video or sound from my server, through my HTPC...

    TV for Living Room

    Looking to get a new TV for the living room. This will be the secondary TV as I have a dedicated HT in the basement (w/ 106" HD projection) - more for everyday viewing. We have a built in recess in our wall for the TV to sit (i.e. therefore the flat issue is moot - the TV can have depth and does...

    PS2 Controller Extensions?

    Well I have done 1 successful cable - there are actually 10 wires in there! Reason I want to actually extend them rather than daisy chaining them is to conserve space in the conduit. Now on to the other controller cable and then 4 N64 controllers :D

    Remote for projector......

    I got a Logitec Harmony remote 676 and it works with my old sony projector with no problems. I bought it when I got a Denon 3805 that didn't have a remote. All the codes are downloaded off the internet, so you do not need the orignal remote to program it.

    mouting speakers with resilient channel?

    Not sure - I tried to find the info as well before posting. Their hefty and the anchors I listed are rated to 50 pounds in drywall, so you should be good.
