    Networked DVRs and MAC Mini: Fantasy or Fact?

    I am trying to figure out if my idea is a potential fact, or total fantasy. I currently have FIOs with HD DVRs (QIP 6416?) on two separate TVs. My objectives are to: 1) Add a few TBs of storage to the DVRs 2) Access the recordings on that shared storage from either of the DVRs'...

    Solve my riddle - Stop the POP!

    Believe it or not - I finally came up with a set up that eliminates the pop! I have no earthly idea what the problem was, but mayb e somebody will get it when I explain what I did. Previously, I had run the pre-outs for the front L & R signal out of the Receiver and directly into the Adcom L...

    Solve my riddle - Stop the POP!

    Thanks for the great ideas guys - I will test your ideas tonight. In response to Chu Gai: 1) Everything was fine before the amp. 2) When I introduced the Adcom (from another system I had) it performed well with the noticable exception of popping when changing menu selections on DVDs, and...

    Solve my riddle - Stop the POP!

    Well, the pop only comes from the front speakers. All of the components are plugged into the Panamax. When it started, I had things plugged into some less-than-high-grade power strips. Hoping it would fix the problem, I installed a 15 amp plug in the living room and the panamax power strip. When...

    Solve my riddle - Stop the POP!

    The pop started with the introduction of the amp. I suspect the sound is only coming from the front speakers, but I will have to check tomorrow to confirm.

    Solve my riddle - Stop the POP!

    I have an interesting (frustrating) problem - hopefully someone can help. I have had my HT system for a 2 years now, and have been running my system off the amps in my Rotel RSX 1055 surround receiver, and it has performed well. I decided to add in an Adcom GFA 545 amp to power the front...
