For anyone whose ever checked out a sound effect album from the library as a kid: freesound :: home page I find myself mixing random samples together... it's addicting.
I actually have a harmony in my basement boxed up somewhere... I didn't think of it because I thought the optical out on the TV would work for me and the u-verse remote is pretty nice, actually. I'll have look into getting it set up. As for the Toslink vs coax... I would think it would be...
I'm going to go with Brian and say shock. I had a similar problem with a couple of maples I had planted in my yard a few years ago. They looked great for a few weeks and then started to wilt and the leaves began getting black around the edges. Even the following summer, they still had a few...

Okay.. I've been busy getting divorced and remodeling a foreclosed house so I've kind of been out of the whole HT loop for a while. Anyway... I've decided to upgrade my livingroom TV to a 32" LCD (I've got an old 27" 4:3 CRT). 32" is the biggest size I can get that'll still fit in my...
