TV - Mitsubishi WD-52628

Cons: Not true 1080P (doesn't accept a 1080P signal input).


Set HDMI-2 as a PC and it will accept and display a native 1080p signal (50/60Hz work, 24/25/48Hz studder at times). NetCommand will bitch about the sync type not being known and you should add a PC, but just hit the "OK" button a couple of times and the messages will go away.

Where do you guys get your HDMI cables from?

Many people recommend monoprice.com for HDMI cables. I have purchased all of mine from them and have yet to receive a bad cable.

How did you get lifetime on your Series 3? I could only get the 1, 2 or 3 years.

Isn't "lifetime" equal to three years in TiVo's eyes? I thought I remembered reading that in the small print.

What I did was buy/hack an Ikea Tobo (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20117674/) for my living room. I didn't bother attaching the metal legs and rebuilt the top drawer to serve as a center speaker cubby. You could modify one of the drawers to serve as a slide-out turntable shelf, too.

I'm still looking for a decent turntable/record stand. Something along the lines of this but hopefully a little more modern.

Has anyone seen anything similar in somebody's setup? Looking for actual stands I can purchase online or even inspiration for something I can build myself if the design is simple enough. just needs to be able to hold some records vertically and be a big enough footprint to set a turntable on top.


Well I've got this Crowsley stand and it's actually quite fine once you remove the "LP" dividers on the bottom. I've got a Technics LP-12200mk2 sitting on top of some custom feet and it's been a great display platform and performer. There's a Cambridge Audio MM/MC Pre-Amp just below it, with a wonderful little PRO-Ject Head Box S included.

All my LPs are stored a few feet away in a 4x2 Expedit. Classy.

Updated theater. Going for the minimalist approach this weekend.




In all seriousness, I don't have any idea how I mounted all that crazy heavy rack equipment by myself years ago. I had to leave some faceplates for the new owners where I stripped the screws trying to remove them.
