Hi All, This may not be the right list to send to. But I figure the people here are fiddling are at a pretty detail level, so they probably know more than most. Also I am interested in incorporating Myth TV, and this is definitely the place to talk about that.
So I am definitely out of date with the home theater technology. I am trying to learn quickly but I am feeling overwhelmed. Sales people have been useless and misleading. So here I am. I just want to put together a fairly low-end home theater. I have already picked my television and it is on order, Toshiba 62" DLP 62hm94. Besides that the only things I have are a sony 300 carousel and my PS2. I am planning on a DVD player and an HDTV antenna. I know a lot of people recommend cable or satellite. But I just don't want the expense or even that much TV. We have plenty of VHS tapes so I will probably add a VCR or transfer them to DVD. And of course mythTV to, mainly to get the HD recorder. Speakers and receiver are my biggest point of confusion. I want good sound but don't need to be on the super high-end. I have looked at the Onkyo 777 and like the speakers a lot. So I am 90% sold on their speakers. But that is where the confusion really kicks in. I can't envision how all this is gonna fit together. So I can't pick which Onkyo to buy? And this continues to the other components. The TV has a tuner built in. So do I route the antenna to the TV? Does that take up the only hdmi input? What does the myth TV box need to contain to do 720 P and 1080i? Do I need a DVD player or is that covered by MythTV? How does mythtv hook in? Well just throw out what you think will work. I know I asked few direct questions. But it is just symptomatic of my confusion. Thanks, Chris
