As he does his investigations, IMO, try to keep him off of 120V. A localized inverter at the HT location will work, with noise and extra loss/drain on the RV 12V supply. There are 12V TVs and very decent 12V car DVD player/stereos that will do fine and not require inverters/generators while...

Space is at a premium in RVs. I wouldn't bother with a big receiver. We replaced our RV's crappy stereo with something kick-ass and replaced the factory speakers. It remains a 12V system and doesn't require a big inverter or generator running constantly. I wouldn't push a factory inverter ->...

No kidding on the hard to spot part. Black, no lights, moving fast, great big flash suppressor on the 30mm, operate in pitch dark, while shooting at you with exploding bullets.

This looks like Apaches with 30mm and hellfire missiles. 30mm is around 2500 feet per second, so if you time the fire to impact at around a second, that would put them ~2500 feet away. Maybe operating at an elevation of 2000 feet.

How? What software do you use to alter those fields?

My biggest gripe with Sonos is that the indexing function seems to use factors beyond artist and album name when building its displayable list. Some albums get broken up into multiple entries on the 'Artist' list, making it more difficult to find individual tracks. A good example is Santana's...

Just like Botch, I got confused by depth perception optical illusions. At first I thought the equipment was in the darkened next room, looking through a well fitted wall cutout. Then I thought I was looking at a mirror -- confusing. Only after seeing the sixth picture did I realize that...

I've had Directv for a very long time, going back to the pirate days with first generation receivers. The service is consistent, with interruptions only during intense rainstorms. Snow/ice crystals interfere with the signal more than rain. My parents are always switching between TV providers...

That movie is "Langoliers." http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112040/?ref_=nv_sr_1

I use WAV rips with off the shelf Sonos equiptment ending with an optical connection between the receiver box and the pre-amp.

A song I always try to demo is Keb Mo's "Soon as I get paid." I suppose I favor this track because of the intense percussion aspect (kick drum!) of the recording, Keb Mo is great, and I like Folk/Blues music. There are many passages that you can get a feel for throughout without wrestling with...

Very cool. Interesting that they talked so much about upgrade paths and servicing old equipment.

Read this book when it came out. Having fun with the portrayed bleak future.

It's a Steely Dan song. Can't think of the name.

Pretty much the same here, but have had DirecTV since the 1999-2000 time frame. DirecTV partnered with TIVO was the best. The current DVR has a decent interface, but still lacks the thumbs-up/down and fine tuner swapping control that the TIVO box had.

My first 'decent' audio purchase was a Technics SA-410 receiver in 1983. It is at my parents' place hooked up to the ML ReQuests. They use it frequently.
