    Help: Need 5.1 receiver choices for basement projector setup

    You will have to create an account but it's well worth. Onkyo factory refurbished. You can pick up an 807 for a little over $500. Once you create account and log in the cheaper price will be shown. http://www.shoponkyo.com/detail.cfm?productid=TX-NR807&modelid=34&group_id=1&detail=1&ext_war=1

    Projection TV blurry using DirecTV

    The first thing you need to do is get a DVD set-up disk like Avia or Sound and Vision this will greatly improve the quality of the picture just by adjusting all of your tv's settings. Make sure you turn down the tv's contrast and Brightness right away if you have not already. Other than this all...

    DirecTV in Apartment

    In response to the original question. Check with your Landlord about the specifics. In most cases, insurance with $100,000 of personal liability insurance is required. This is typically included with any standard renter's insurance policy which could run you $100+ a year. The reason for the...
