Just started this Home Theatre thing
Discussion
Living in Indonesia I don't have quite the same access as at home to Amazon, Richersounds etc... But this is where I am for now.
60" Samsung 7 series
HTPC running Plex, flash drive for OS, 4tb for media. Space for another 4tb drive when I get close to filling the first.
Account with SmartDNSproxy which lets me stream all the UK TV on demand channels through the PC (although HD is jumpy/laggy).
I tried setting up through UKTV On demand through the TV but it would work for a while and then the program apps would always un-install and thus frustrate the wife. Seems the TV doesn't like being told it isn't in Asia.
Couch Potato monitoring my IMDB watchlist (I shan't go any further into this).
PS4, XBOX 360, PS3 running multiman. I'll now assume the PS3 & XBOX are redundant.
HD Cable TV.
And now I've just ordered for delivery over Christmas...
Denon AVR-X3000 (this came in at around £400)
Pioneer Andrew Jones 5 channel set up (around £350)
And I've also ordered the matching Sub-woofer which is rather pricey at £200
The Denon is able to drive 7.2 channels but I'll sit with this set up for now as i can't order individual speakers here, I'll wait till I'm back in the UK.
Denon and 5 channel speakers should arrive in a couple of days.
Sub-woofer in a couple of weeks due to international delivery.
Looking forward to hooking all of this up and hearing the difference it should make to our movie watching experience at home.
