 Finally done and happy with my setup, wasn't nearly as expensive as I thought it would be. Onkyo TX-NR414 Aperion Intimus 4T and 4C front/center. Polk PSW10 Some other Polks that were part of my HTIB are mounted up as surrounds, don't recall the model.

Hippie Hedgehog posted:I guess you don't need to watch TV during the day anyway, right? =) Hah yeah, when I first moved in, TV during the day was impossible. I was so angry at the builder's decision to make the the TV wall the one covered in windows (it's all pre-wired for this setup). They're heavily tinted now though, and it's not an issue at all. It's not nearly as bright as you'd think.

Play MKV files from (windows) network share Netflix HBO GO Why is it so difficult to get a single box that does these three things? Does anyone know of one? I have an original boxee that won't do HBO GO. The Roku won't play files from a network share. WD TV has no HBO GO. Raspberry pi/xbmc won't do hbo go or netflix.

Plex isn't free, and it's more because of the principle: why should I have to buy an app to transcode and stream file types that the box can play natively? Just because it can't see a network share? That's such a trivial thing to include, I don't understand why it's left out. Also these media server apps are never perfect, there's always something that doesn't work well in my experience.

KillHour posted:It's also completely amazing. Get it. My only regret is that I only bought the 720p Roku, since I was going to use it in my bedroom. I liked it so much, I moved it into the living room, and it replaced my PS3 as my DLNA client of choice. So you have no problems at all playing mkv's with this setup? What about dolby digital/DTS audio? Is that passed through to your receiver?

niss posted:Yeah, thats like the first rule, always go bigger than what you think cause really quickly it will start to look small. Heh, I was worried that the 65" i got was going to be too close for my seating distance, and the first thing I thought after hanging it on the wall was "maybe i should have sprung for the 75?"

Back when I had a similar setup I put the center channel inside the fireplace.

Well obviously you take it out if you're going to make a fire. It wasn't mounted or anything, just sitting there. You couldn't see it either with the metal curtain thing closed. A really simple solution, I'd recommend it if you don't use the fireplace constantly in the winter.

KillHour posted:I've had several people suggest that. The problem is it's a wood burning fireplace and I really don't want my speaker covered in ash. So was mine, i just draped a piece of cloth over it to catch any ash that might fall from the flue  worked fine

Rinaldi posted:I have a future AV set-up in the works. We have a partially finished basement and are considering turning one of the unfinished rooms into a theater. I've budgeted for the remodel but haven't started talking to any contractors yet. We initially were thinking it'd be a fun long-term DIY project but seeing as how we don't have any experience in framing, drywalling, etc and that we want it to actually not look like garbage, we decided to leave some of that up to professionals. So, I'm hoping to get some advice; Honestly, I don't think you need to frame that at all. For a proper theater, you'd hang heavy black theater drapes all around the room. Not only will this dampen the sound but it will making hiding the cables and everything stupidly easy. Of course it will also cover up the existing walls and make it look like a theater.

 Something like this is the closest I could find to what I had in mind from a quick google search. CheddarGoblin fucked around with this message at 05:18 on Aug 5, 2018 |
