More HD Goodness

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

DIRECTV just launched some new HD goodness with 21 new HD channels and many more (for my package) to come in the following months. I am still looking forward to Spike in HD for all the MMA fights in HD and SciFiHD for Battlestar Galactica. I do have VS in HD now so at least [...]

TVs for Dirt

Wednesday, December 20th, 2006

Requirements: 46-50″ 2 HDMI inputs 1080P – this is the resolution your PS3 spits out, also called True HD. The best money can buy. I figured you’re most likely to pick one from BestBuy or Circuit City. If you want to take the ordering big electronics off the internet plunge you can but I hear [...]

Local HD Channels

Saturday, September 23rd, 2006

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 [...]

Entertainment Center Final Setup

Thursday, August 31st, 2006

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. Sony provides a microphone with the home theater that you place in the room where you plan on doing the [...]

TV Stand

Saturday, August 12th, 2006

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 were $200-$430. [...]

DVD Player & Home Theater System

Wednesday, August 9th, 2006

I ordered the DVD player and Home Theater System (HTS) from Circuit City last Friday the 4th. I was fortunate it was on a no tax weekend, here in the land of milk and honey. I’ve got no favoritism to Circuit City, Best Buy, Amazon, etc. I like them all. Circuit City just had the [...]

Entertainment Center Cables

Tuesday, August 8th, 2006

I’ll be keeping yall posted on the progress of the Casa del Ray Entertainment Center including the pitfalls and successes. I created a catagory for it if you ever want to go back quickly to look at everything. Before I get going on about cables, you’ll notice two new links up in the header of [...]

I wanted a home theater system that had a HDMI connection also. They cost a little more and the quality is [...]
