    Wayne, Kevin - Thanks so much for both of your responses.... This will get me pointed in the right direction... Just nervous being a brand new house and it being my first feeble attempt at an install. I have a system of my own but I live in an apartment and I believe the apartment management...

    Newbie installing first Family Room HT

    Wayne, I should have mentioned that the house was prewired and the speakers have already been installed by the company the Architect/General Contractor uses frequently. It's probably a good thing because it is a two story house... My first obstacle will be running the wires (AC and Video...

    Tivo and HD Cable Boxes (Help a Newbie)

    Tim, yes they offer it.... I guess the point in getting the second box besides the HD DVR Box is to be able to record one program say on the Tivo Box SD while watching another on the HD DVR either HD or SD. I think there is a new Harmony model 880 coming out from Logitech this month...

    HTF Sponsor Ad- PlasmaDocs Deals and Inventory

    Doctor, was looking at your list and did not see a Pioneer Plasma PDP-4340HD in the list. You don't carry this model? If you don't what would you suggest as a comparable display. I chose the Pioneer based on the editor and user ratings I found on CNET.com

    Tivo and HD Cable Boxes (Help a Newbie)

    Newbie here.... Trying to help my Sister decide on some new HT components for the new house she is building. We've selected an HD Plasma (ViewSonic VPW4255), and a receiver (Denon AVR-2105). Where I'm getting stuck is whether or not she should get HD Cable from Cox. She has a Tivo Series 2...
