Unless I'm missing something, that TV has Netflix built in and it does support Atmos out over HDMI ARC. I get Atmos from Netflix this way.

1. Yes. 2. Yes and yes although there have been some handshake issues on HDMI with some TVs. They are rare though and get fixed with STB firmware updates from time to time. 3. Not programming. I think YouTube was available at one point, not sure about now. You can stream photos and...

Another huge TG fan here. Interestingly, going back to the early days of TG, it used to be a 30 minute, serious review show. Clarkson did it with others (not May and Hammond - heck, Hammond would have been in short trousers) and it focused on detailed reviews of new vehicles. The new...

I'm no Elvis fan (sorry) but I also thought that was cool.

I'm running a PB10 in a room that is about 21x20 with a 19ft ceiling. Even then the room is open to the kitchen and foyer. I'm sure I have some dead spots somewhere (I'm no sub expert) but I can't run the thing over 25% on the gain. It currently sits a few inches out from a side wall. Everything...

I can't offer listening comparisons but if compactness is a real issue, you may have to pass on the PB-10 as you say. I could not believe it when I unpacked it. I was really taken aback by the size of the thing. No complaints on sound quality though ;-).

Just wanted to report back. I am truly blown away by the SBS-10/SCS-10 combo and the PB-10. I ran the speakers without the sub for a few weeks just because I had no time to get the sub set-up. Now with the sub I am stunned. So is everyone else that hears them.

Hmmm, I ordered a new PB10-NSD. The box says it's an ISD. Not opened it yet to check. Update: Sure enough, there's a leaflet in the top of the box explaining.

Okay, thanks folks. I think I'll persevere with running cables. I don't want to buy good speakers only to compromise on the connections.

Where are you located? Is Verizon a player in your community? They are offering FiOS TV in many places now. They offer all locals in HD plus others (about 23 in total I think). It's a very competitive service and the HD hardware is very reasonable (leased).

Probably an old subject so if so, sorry. I can never get search to work the way I want it... Are there any worthwhile wireless options for connecting rear speakers? I don't mean speakers with wireless built in - I mean retrofit or add on deals to connect non-wireless speakers. I am trying to...

I have seen this with HD broadcasts OTA using an onboard Sony TV HD tuner. I guess it originates at the source although I have wondered if the tuner was at fault. I have also seen it with my Verizon FiOS TV, both HD and SD.

SVS is taking pre-orders on the new PB10-NSD now (shipping 6/26) so I just snagged one. Thanks again for the help folks.

Thanks John. I ordered the SVS package sans subwoofer. I'll figure the latter out later. Last time I was buying HT gear SVS only made subs. Things have changed! I'm looking forward to seeing what all the SVS fuss is about ;-).

John, where can I get the PB-10? The SVS Website shows them discontinued and undergoing a makeover.
