    Running exterior speakers in series?

    I am finishing up the landscaping in my back yard and have run conduit to 6 planters (one from the next). I have 2 pair of speaker wire coming from a remote on the patio (which home runs to A/V location). Can anyone tell me how to wire up speakers like this? I think it's called running in...

    Split Component signal from DVR out to multiple TVs

    Yeah, I did an on-line chat with their tech department who told me emphatically "NO" it won't work in reverse. But since then I chased down some other tips and came up with this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000S1CEQ4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER The specs look right and...

    Split Component signal from DVR out to multiple TVs

    Actually, I tried the Y adapter for just audio initially to a remote TV and Audio Receiver and got the dreaded HUM in the TV. Then I read up on it and found that most of the posts verify that is a common issue. So, that's why I'm looking for a good switcher instead. But as I posted (above) the...

    Split Component signal from DVR out to multiple TVs

    Hi, I searched this but only found older posts, so here's my question: I have a Direct TV HD DVR feeding 3 HD TVs. The main TV is fed directly with a 6' HDMI cable no problem.

    TVs - WOW lots of info to digest for a novice!

    I just completed building a rather sizable home and need to purchase several TVs for various rooms and areas. I have been to the big box retailers and picked their brains but figured I would get some unbiased "professional" feedback from anyone here who wishes to toss in their two cents! I am...

    The right cable installation

    Sorry I was not altogether clear.... Here's the details. First of all, we will have four Direct TV HD DVRs at four locations with homeruns going back to the main panel for which we are running 3 RG6 each. AND Since our broadband is through Cox, we also have free "expanded cable" for which we...

    Cheap component cable from Monoprice

    Your explanations are compelling and seem very logical to me (I am not at all educated on this topic). However, I have a follow up Q: Why do all the suppliers seem to offer "Standard" and "Premium" and some times "Super Premium" options for cable? For example: Video Cable - RCA Component I...
