    Digital ATSC RF Modulator

    You cant modulate and get HD picture, your best bet is to house all HD rcvrs in 1 location and get a video switcher (ELAN v-883) you can switch any video source (hd tivo) to any location, so long as you have a set of component cables from the switcher to each TV. The v-883 will give you 8 hd...

    Speaker recommendations

    I would suggest the JBL Synthesis series, from 3,000 watts and up. For $20,000 you won't be disapointed.

    Home system help

    As for rcvr, I would recommend a Yamaha in your $ range, some Primus 150's for rears and Primus 250's for left/right, Infinity also makes a center that matches the Primus series. For a sub, I would go with a Polk PSW-12, it will give PLENTY of low-end.

    Upgrading from 5.1 to ? Opinions please

    Berck is correct. 99.9% of content is 5.1, if you are to get any 7.1 recording, it would be from a new hd-dvd, which again is mostly 5.1. A good pre-amp (JBL synthesis, or Crestron) will do a good job of simulating a 7.1 sound from 5.1 content. You can have a million speakers, but you will only...

    Subwoofer toubleshooting

    The LFE input will disable the sub crossover, meaning that your amp will perform the crossover function for the sub. If your amp does not have crossover functions for sub output, use the l/r input on the sub. If your fuse blows on your sub, you have purchased an inferior sub, and you will need...

    Hey guys help me out

    rear speakers if you hate wires for your rear speakers, you must not care that much about sound quality. Even in my apartment I have run wires under the carpet, front to back (concealed) for 7.1 reproduction. You have no excuse.

    digital optical splitter

    optical splitter rca coax can transport 5.1 audio, optical can transport 7.1 +. If u are just using 5.1 audio, no need for optical transport.
