    Newbie says "I Think that I'm Done for now; but feedback/critiques are always welcome"

    Confused about HDMI Switchers & Other Things

    Thanks again Jim. My current thinking is to go with just an HDMI switch; however, there seem to be a gazillion or so 5x1's available priced everywhere from $19.95 up to the thousands. I don't want to spend "just a little" for one that isn't reliable; but I don't want to spend several hundred...

    Confused about HDMI Switchers & Other Things

    Good morning Jim, thanks for the response, I appreciate the input. If/when we do consider an a/v receiver, ILO an HDMI switcher, it'll have to be one compatible with/capable of being utilized with our next TV, one that is 3D capable. The current TV is new; but not 3D capable. It was just...

    Confused about HDMI Switchers & Other Things

    We are in the beginning stage of putting together a nice, albeit "not too expensive" HT. We just bought a new (2011/12) Insignia 55" HDTV from Best Buy; and like most newer HDTV's, it only has 3 HDMI inputs so I'm considering a 5x1 or maybe an 8x1 HDMI switch. I doubt that I'll ever need 8...

    Wi-Fi Capable Blu-ray Player vs Streaming Devices

    Wi-Fi Capable Blu-ray Player vs Streaming Devices

    Good evening Steve, thanks for the welcome aboard note and the ininfo on the OPPO unit. It's a bit pricey for our budget; but if does the job I want/need it to do, it may be worth the expense. I'll do some research to try and find out if it will play XVID and DIV-X files. To answer your...

    Just Introducing Myself

    Hello everyone; or as we say at home in South Carolina, "hey all ya'll". We are transplanted Carolinians currently residing in Colorado. We expect to be here for about another year; and I've just started putting together a home theatre system. We started with a big screen (55") Insignia LED...

    Wi-Fi Capable Blu-ray Player vs Streaming Devices

    Good morning y'all. I'm VERY new to this website and am hoping I've written this assistance request in the correct area. We just purchased a new "Insignia" big screen LED HDTV. On the plus side, the picture is great; and on the not so plus side, the TV only has 3 HDMI ports so I have to be...
