Settling in for the show

The ongoing adventure to find the home theater products most suitable for my home & family has come to a happy ending. There will be a few updates on this topic in the future, but the supporting cast has been set in stone for the most part, and will hopefully provide many years of happy viewing. The future of this blog lies will most likely lie in the path of discussion of replacements for our DVD player and DVR.

We are waiting for any definitive information on the forthcoming Series 3 Tivo units. I don’t want to have to pay for it, but it seems to be the best option available if we want to be able to keep up with the next seasons of our favorite shows. I hope it arrives soon, and that somebody comes up with a way for it, via firewire interface, to control my favorite DVD device: the Sony VGP-XL1B2. He have no plans currently to do anything about HD DVD or Blu-Ray discs, as there is still no unified solution and none of the current options offer enough of an appreciable improvement over our cheap upconverting DVD player.

Tune in every month or half-year for updates! ;^)
