its the best feeling ever having people call you up and tell you they wish they had the toys you have //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

That is a little sad to me. That's the best feeling you have ever had? I don't envy you at all, despite your assumption that ooo's and aaa's from video and audio quality would generate such a response.

We all like high quality multimedia here, that's why this place exists, but I think its important not to confuse materialistic, indeed, nearly hedonistic indulgence in audio/visual toys for reproducing ENTERTAINMENT, aka DISTRACTION, with actual existentially satisfying moments.

That's the kind of shit that breeds 20,000+ post counts.

stuck in the past arent you.....

For some things...yes //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I build my system for one person - me. I'm the one that's going to be listening to it, I don't really care if people like what I've done with it or not.

I personally think the best feeling is finding a cool new album to play, going home and relaxing on the couch while surrounded by the experience...but meh, maybe I should be out trying to impress people.

Can some PLEASE explain how the antenna's for HD work??

The same way antennas for non-HD work //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

LOL a little more detail would be great!! Does it ASSIST my cable box....is it a totally separate signal?? How much of an improvement is it?

See, this is what happens when people forget what older technology was //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Doesn't have anything to do with the cable box...totally seperate. You can either buy or build an antenna. Put it up in the highest spot that you can...outside antennas are preferable. Use really good quality coax cable back to the TV - RG-6QS or the Belden equivalent.

How much of an improvement? Well, without an antenna you won't receive squat unless you live 10 stories up or right next to the transmitter //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

not really, more like everytime i pick up a high def movie like casino royale or many other things (i worded it wrong should of put its a good feeling not the best lol)

I don't envy you at all, despite your assumption that ooo's and aaa's from video and audio quality would generate such a response.

why would i try to impress you if i dont even know you... i dont even know if you even have an ht setup? if you had a nice one say like b&w or others then yah i would try to impress you. i know their trying to impress others or else they wouldnt put it in their sig. its not like their getting paid to advertise what they run, so why post pictures? to show off duh!

That's the kind of shit that breeds 20,000+ post counts.

huh i have as much posts as you do lol

PS- NOBODY WORTH A SHIT is going to envy you for having Talladega Nights on Blu-Ray.

its isnt the only blu ray movie i have... i have 13 now and 40 hd-dvds. if you dont envy someone that has a nicer setup then you then he obviously doesnt have a nicer setup so you should post some pix of your setup.... or you just dont like the same stuff he does. i know theirs tons of setups i see on the avs forum i wish i had, but their is a few of those that live in apartments and can never really hear what their setups can do... me on the other hand my roomate which we live in a 3 bedroom house. actually thinks its cool when i shake the walls //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif when his freinds come over his always asking me if i can demo it to them and im more then glad to. but their is nothing like having your own house but their still the girlfreind to worry about...

well they say over the air is better then cable hd channels. i do notice a slight difference in pq but it can be cause of many reasons like the cable company compresing it more then others or beats me but their is a slight improvement. i have an over the air hd antenna which i picked up from walmart for $30 but anything like a cell phone can make it drop the channel so i prefer to use my cable box unless the cable is out which then i have no choice.

i honestly doubt a whole lot of people would be able to discern a difference.

This thread has made me want to go pick up a HD cable antenna and give that a try. Hell if I like it then I am droping my cable box......................................not, lol!

HD over the Cable is useless...

Unless you live in an area where you don't get HD off air....

It's not a cable antenna, it's gives you local HD Channels basically...
