    Vudu: Next generation of getting movies.

    So with the deal at Best Buy for 200 dollar credit on rentals, is it still not a good deal? I was thinking maybe Apple TV, Netflix or Blockbuster as well. Netflix isnt HD yet, Apple is expensive, and Blockbuster you have to hook your computer up to a TV or projector. Each have there own issues...

    Harmony remote questions

    I have an 890, two 550s, and two 520s. They all are wonderful. Right now you can get a great deal on the 890s on Ebay. I actually learned more about them just recently from the wonderful customer service reps via the 800#. A VERY powerful remote for around $200. They will control Z-wave...

    To 120hz or not to 120hz

    Have you thought about Plasma? I have both 120 lcd and plasma. For motion and sports, the plasma seems to do better. It has a faster responce time and frame rate. They are also about the same price or less.

    The Sony VPL-VW70 or the JVC DLA-RS20?

    The Sony VPL-VW70 or the JVC DLA-RS20? They look almost equal in specs. They JVC might be a little less in price, I think. Has anyone seen a side by side?

    What to put in new home theater? HELP!

    The new sanyo z3000 or the sanyo z2000 would fit well. The z2000 is on clearance with a big rebate. You could get a screen as well for under 2 grand. Both projectors are highly rated.

    So which projector will do for a 120" screen and still have no blur or pixalization? My room is 22' long, so plenty of space for placement.

    New Constrution Wiring.

    So, if I am running wire over 25 ft should I go up in size to 12 gauge? What about conduit or smurf tubing? Just for hdmi cable to projector or to all areas? The stuff is pretty cheap and easy to run. Thank you for your help and input.

    New Constrution Wiring.

    Just looking for some opinions of what others have done. Has anyone used "smurf tubing"? I am going to use it for the HDMI running to my projector, but is there a reason to use it for speaker wires? As of right now, I am planning on using 14/2 monster thx speaker cable. It is cl3 rated...

    Biggest BOOM for the buck?

    For a dedicated home theater system, which av receiver is the best bang for the buck? Denon AVR-2308, Onkyo TX-SR806, or Harman Kardon AVR 354? They all seem around the same price and same features. What I am looking for is some info on the power actually. What is going to drive my Paradigm...

    Best 1080p Projector for Sports?

    I have no issue with placement. 22 ft room. I have read some issues with 120 mhz projectors. They have to have frame interpolation. Not sure I fully understand this, but sounds good in theory. As far as budget, I just want the most bang for the buck. I have a 120" Elite high white screen...

    Best 1080p Projector for Sports?

    THe least amount of pixalization, blur, or digitalization. I have been told that Sony has a softer picture, but that is better for viewing sports. It cuts out the blur of fast moving, action games. Thank you,

    HDMI upconversion question?

    Do any receivers up-convert for hdmi in signals? Everything I have read the upconversion is only on component video, s-video, and composite video. Standard Def cable and the Sony 400 disc/dvd player that only upconverts to 1080i is the reason I ask. They are both hdmi outs, but in a lower...

    Is Pioneer Elite in the same league as Denon or Yamaha?

    Also, if there is a better system I am open to it. There is nothing close to my town other than a Best Buy for help. I read something posted by the member "Pink" that was interesting. For $1500 there are better ways than just going with name brand retail. Side note (Since the start of the...

    Is Pioneer Elite in the same league as Denon or Yamaha?

    Well the 7.2 on the new Yamaha was a nice feature that almost swayed me(2 independent sub outs). But how important is THX Ultra II. Pioneer and Onkyo are the only sub 1500$ receivers I have found with this certification. I am only using this receiver for movies. I just can not get my head around...

    I am looking for any insight you guys might have between these 2 receivers. I am building a dedicated theater room and have narrowed it down to these to receivers.

    Speaker size for room area?

    Thank you for the info. Very nice. I am still having trouble finding any info on speaker size and amount of amp power needed for a room area. How big a difference is there in a 90 watt Denon vs a 100 watt? One step further, how about a 100 watt Denon vs a 110 watt Yamaha? Does the size of a...
