(My apologies for first asking this in the welcome thread.) Hi Bill, I don't have much time nowadays to read The Digital Bits so you may well have already answered the following questions in one of your editorials. Since you're here perhaps you can answer directly: Nearly all HT...

Just an FYI: The current issue and previous issue of Widescreen Review magazine feature a two part article about 3D technology, the first part covering what is being used in digital cinemas and the second part discussing home video. I'm not trying to blow my own horn, nor am I claiming the...

The photo showing the digital projector on the ceiling: Is that the basement? And how tall are those ceilings? And what is the blue material that's visible on the floor in the earlier photo?

My brother-in-law wants to add a home theatre in his basement, which was finished by the previous homeowner. He has been given permission to remodel (but not re-do) the space, so no new walls or tearing out existing ones. The only decent location for the HT is in a corner of the main room (the...
