Stereo - Part 1
November 19th, 2007
New system consists of:
- Denon AVR-4308CI
- Panasonic TH-50PZ700U
- X-Box Elite
- X-Box HD-DVD Player
- 3 x Boston Acoustics P442 for fronts and center
- 2 x Boston Acoustics P430 for rears
- Infitity Sub
- Harmony 890 Remote
- Tivo HD with MY DVR Expander
- Tivo Series 2
- Scientific Atlanta standard cable box
Current problems:
- Dam SATA cable from Tivo HD to external drive keeps falling out. Need to come up with a solution. Thinking duck tape.
- Up converting doesnt appear to be working from Tivo 2 (S-Video); picture looks like crap. Currently S into the AVR, then HDMI out to Panny.
- Panny Black screen when changing screens. Could be the HDCP? Really annoying.

I generally use Orb to get to my stuff at home when I am remote. Love Orb, but its slow and it tends to be unavailable. It hasnt been stable since Vista.
From a previous post I started using JungleDisk - which works great and its cheap. I just started this week to use it to back up picture - cant wait for the bill now. JD is great, but I started having issues with OneNote on my laptop (MB Pro). Still trying to figure that out - I think it may have something to do with a Vista bug where the drive letter thinks its disconnected but it isnt. SP1?
Anyway, an alternative service is Logmein. Going to experiment.
