I broke down finally. I succumbed to the shame Strokker applied so harshly to me this past weekend. “We can’t watch movies?” he said. “You don’t have a DVD player?” he said.
Problem solved. Thats it though. Time to tighten up. No more big ticket items for many months. I slipped when I sold some things [...]

Requirements:
46-50″
2 HDMI inputs
1080P - this is the resolution your PS3 spits out, also called True HD. The best money can buy.

DirecTV doesn’t broadcast our local channels here in HD. In some big cities they do but not this one yet. I gotsta have my HD football games too. I can’t take only watching games on ESPNHD in HD and then having to switch back to the local fuzzy channels in SD. I just got this [...]

After the festivities two weekends ago, we finally got our audio system properly installed. Once everything was hooked up to the amp (Sony HT-DDW900 Home Theater), Sony required an auto configuration that is pretty simple.

Here is the TV stand I bought yesterday. I picked it up at BJ’s FOR $200 and it was the only one they had on the floor. I looked at couple of nice entertainment center tables/cabinets in some furniture stores around the city but I drew a firm line at 200 bones. Most [...]
