Have You Ever Set up a Home Theater?

http://lockergnome.net – http://twitter.com/chrispirillo – http://facebook.com/chrispirillo – Kevin called in the other night and wanted advice on setting up a home theater. The friend of his who is trying to set things up is wondering if an Xbox 360 is sufficient as a starting point. He also already owns a 1080p television. Have you ever set up a home theater? What was your experience like? http://chris.pirillo.com

    Hey just thought I would let you know there is an attachment for the iphone that turns it into an IR remote. I haven’t come across anything that runs it through your wifi, and I”m not sure if the app that comes with the IR attachment allows bluetooth for the ps3. There is a remote system called direct4 or direct3 that runs on wifi, but it’s more of a whole home thing.

    To get the perfect home Theater I think you would need to spend quite a bit and as you correctly pointed out Chris, some of scrimp where we perhaps shouldn’t. Also the actual setup of the equipment is pretty essential, again as you referred to the speaker distance etc etc. Tremendous video Chris

    @R1CKY995 And also the xbox 360 does not have a BULT-IN HD DVD. It is an external peripheral.

    @GarrettBMXes That was me OTP. The problem with the cutting off is that Vonage introduces some apparent latency, and the way Chris talks you can never be sure if he’s going to say more or give you a turn :)

    Helpful though; thanks, Chris.
