Silver Member Username: ThecryptLawrence, Kansas Post Number: 122 Registered: Dec-06 | Now that our room is almost completed I'd like to start looking for some Sources, Amp, Preamps, Speakers, and whatever else I'd need maybe including a projector and screen for video, but audio comes first. What's a good DVD player? Should I go for Dish Network? DirecTV? There are a lot of choices for a DVR, DVD Player, and other sources. Thanks for helping me out! Just ask questions. |

I've had DirectTV for the last 5 years, and would give the nod to them. Great customer service, and a quality signal during storms as well. PLUS they've got the NFL package. Which I think others might be able to get now? They add HD stations as soon as they can also, which is a big plus. Thats all I can help with until you give up a budget. |

Here's a link to an article on HD displays that might help with projectors. http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/2007/01/22/hdtv-buyers-guide_uk/page8.html Mike |

For the amp and preamp, I'm going to have to think about that. For the Video, I'll have to think about that as well. I am going to take a look at DirecTV's offerings, thanks man. |

Silver Member Username: ThecryptLawrence, Kansas Post Number: 128 Registered: Dec-06 | Hey guys, I was looking around and I've ordered an Ayre Dx-7e from our nearest dealer. I'm ultra excited to get it! I'll just have it in the box until I get everything together though...of course. It's time for work I better be off. Good luck. |
