Hi all, I was wondering if someone has an updated list. I am specifically interested in the new Panasonics and Toshibas. What does one look for in a specification to know if the TV supports "vertical squeeze"? Also, for those that are now getting HDTV programming... is most of the primetime...

Hi Wallace, I have a digital cable box as well (except mine does have svideo and digital outs). I had a similiar issue to the one that you are describing. Since our boxes are not the same I don't know if this would apply but its worth checking out anyway. On my set top box it doesn't put...

Hi Glenn, Just FYI. The house I am building includes IBM's home director for structured wiring. I upgraded to the personal series. In any room that might have a tv I have 2 RG6 and 1 CAT5 at the TV location. In addition every room excluding bathrooms has at least 1 CAT5. Also, I have a...

Thanks for all of your responses!!! Thought I would let you all know what I decided on. First the room has two equipment niches in the rear, spaced about 10' apart. I am running 2 PVC channels between niches. Also, there is a screen niche and subwoofer niche centered under the screen...

Hi all, Could everyone who has (or is) built(building) a dedicated home theater room (and has pictures on the web) post a URL in this thread. Thanks, Jeff

Unbelievable!!! Your theater room looks awesome. Do you have written down somewhere all of the trade-offs and thought processes that went into designing such a great theater?

Hi everyone, I am in the process of building a house that is going to have a dedicated theater room. Right now, I need to know what I should be considering in terms of cabling. The room is fairly large... will have to report exact dimensions at later date. The following are my cabling...
