LG has a 37" that I've been considering. All of the user reviews I've read have been excellent.

Check out vmcsatelite.com. Free DVR's, Free HD Receivers etc... I ran across their banner ad on the HT Forum home page. Looks like a great deal to me. I will be moving in to our new house in about a month and plan on checking it out. If anyone has any experience with this comany please advise.

Bob, Thanks for the reply. Actually there are 5 coax cables and one Cat5 wire. I'm assuming that three of the five coax are for Component Video run for DVD, one for Composite and one for Digital Audio. I'm not sure what the Cat5 wire is for but there are no speaker wires run for the center...

I guess I'm just wondering if this was the best approach for the application? Would this be the typical approach used by a high end AV installer?

Thanks for the reply Phil! My guess is that 3 are for component video and the two others are for analog audio as you suggested. I'm still wondering if one of the two may be used for digital audio instead of using both for analog? Please correct me if I'm wrong about this possibility as I'm...

I'm learning but perhaps a little to late. I am in the process of building a new house and had my HT/Music Room pre wired. There are 5 coax cables running from where my flat panel HDTV will be mounted to where the receiver,DVD etc... will be located. I'm assuming that three are for component...
