Thought I might share what my new set-up looks like...
What you have down below, built into the cabnitry, is my old 36 inch Toshiba tube TV, which is on Charter cable. I have some old doors which used to conceal the TV and I took them off years ago. I am going to put them back on and will leave them shut, except when I am watching both TV's (like today and tomorrow for the bowl games).
I have the Toshiba on Charter cable bc my wireless modem is located in the extreme lower right bookshelf behind a clay vase and some family pix. My den is in the middle of the house and the wireless modem gets a good signal throughout the house from the middle. Originally tried it from the office (on one end of the house) and it didn't work. So we ran the coax cable to the den and then ran an Ethernet cable back to the office with R45 connectors on either end. This is where my PC is located.
Above the Toshiba is my new Samsung 50 inch plasma. Located to below left of it is my DirecTV DVR on the far right is my JVC 9010 receiver (which has multi-room capability for my kitchen and patio speakers). In the center is a combo VCR Player/DVD recorder. I've got about 200 movies I've saved to Tivo and burned to blank DVD's over the years.
I've got a nice home theatre set up with flush mounted rear speakers about 3 feet from where we sit. Notice center channel speaker above and to the right of the plasma. Powered subwoofer is the black box on the floor to the right of the Toshiba. This sound set up is great. (Alltogether, I've got about $4000 USD in my entire set up). I use Cambridge Soundworks speakers and swear by them. The main left and right ones are up there on the top bookshelves sitting among books and pictures...
I had to do some pretty rough rip out of the vertical column of the bookshelves for the plasma only to find there weren't any studs behind it....had to go in behind the fridge in the kitchen and put in studs to hang the TV bracket on. Then came back into the bookshelves and did a refinish on the ripout. Came out great.
Then the guy from Firedog hung the TV and it came out pretty good.
All I need now is a wet bar next to it and a keg connection...
