Makes my meager 65" seem inadequate.

I'll have a projection system when I build the media room, though.

I just bought a 52" HD widescreen like almost 2 years ago. Now it is being moved into the bedroom.

You wanna talk about a hell of a picture on the projection...Porno on it is great!

I found out late last night that my rear channels on my surround sound reciever will not work.
I have another in the garage, if that doesn't work, I guess I will be buying new one.

What connection are you using to connect all your things component? I currently run component for my DVD and X-Box and PS2. Then on my DV-R box I run a DVi Connection to the iSCAN unit. The iScan unit has a direct DVi connection to the projector. All the sound is digital (IR). Nothing is sweeter then a good HD channel with full surround sound to entertain family and friends.

i have a POS magnavox that we've had for about 16 years lol. its only got a coax jack in the back, so i had to run my DVD player thru the VCR and the picture is all fucked up

i need some kind of switching system to hook it up, or maby some kind of RCA-->coax converter. the tv fell off the couch when we were moving about 8 years ago and stuff is just clunking around inside of it and it's still goin strong (somehow), if it explodes while im watchin it one day, i wont be at all suprised.
