Yea... got the new home theater together...

Slowly but surely, over the past couple of weeks all the components for the new home theater were delivered, wired up, configured, etc. The icing on the cake was Thursday, when Time Warner showed up to install HD cable service and the HD DVR.

As always, pictures are in order...

Quite a difference, eh? Last night we took advantage of the new setup, watching Next Great American Band followed by several episodes of CSI:Miami in HD. Very cool!

Great thing is that the new entertainment center takes up slightly less space than the old one and has been considerably easier to configure (HDMI is the greatest thing since sliced bread) and operate. Plus, by "recycling" the components from the old entertainment center to other rooms, we've now got a better setup in our bedroom (27" TV + DVD + VCR), another setup in the guest room (19" TV + DVD + VCR + receiver + tape deck), a streaming media server in the den, and fewer stereo components collecting dust in the basement. A real win-win-win-win situation.

Excellent! But to display the TV's prowess, you took a picture while Scrubs was on and not South Park? You missed a golden opportunity, my friend.
