yes, the condo does have wifi as well. bith cable and wifi are under a single corporate plan for the entire complex. how do i set up hulu plus or youtube TV? simply on my personal computer? or do i need some external device like a firestick?

perhaps not the best forum to post this question but moving into a winter rental condo with cable TV. I’m assuming all of the condos are on some sort of corporate cable plan. the individual condo does not have DVR capability. best way to do that? I see that there are over the air dvrs but that...

thanks for your reply. i understand how to mount to sheetrock and the framing behind. perhaps you missed my description that describes 3/4” ply that sits at the back of the built in entertainment center. initially I had planned to cut out the size of the mount and then attach the mount...

Hi, just received our new 65" OLED TV and trying to figure out how finish the built in entertainment center and whether or not to wall mount the TV and if so, how. First, a woodworking question. On the left in the picture is a finish piece that appears to go under the top cabinets. How can...

Thanks for your responses. Our source is almost entirely via streaming services (video and audio) and an occasional BLU-Ray. Do the receivers with streaming services offered the benefit of fine tuning whereas Sonos/bose have limited ability or is the source, the source? My budget is <$2000...

Oh no, I was about to pull the trigger on a refurbished marantz 7013, a svs pb2000, hadn’t decided on bookshelf speakers when I measured the shelf depth of the builtin entertainment center. I need an additional 6 inches for cords and ventilation! I might be able to take out one side of the...

thanks. I understand all of that. Looking for more specifics like ArmSC offered 2.5 years ago. At that time he suggested a specific denon model, bookshelf speakers a sub to start. As before, I’m interested in an expandable system starting with a strong receiver that can eventually manage...

Wow, 2.5 years since I posted this and I never got anything! Life can get in the way! New suggestions for a receiver and speaker start up system?

I plan to do this in stages and it's for a medium sized room. Seems like my first purchases will be an avr, a sub and two front speakers. Later I'd add rear speakers for surround sound. I have a large built-in entertainment center with room for towers on each side or book shelf speakers on the...

Thanks again. Recs for bookshelf speakers? And speaker wire?

Looking at the 1300 vs the 2300. What's gained in the step up model? Want to future proof as much as possible. Thanks.

And thoughts about wireless. I have a sonos and a little portable bose speaker that can be a bit frustrating.

Thanks, I bought a Sony X800
