More on the TV speakers
As more and more broadcasts come out in HD with surround sound, I think you'll be wanting to use your HT system to watch and listen to just everyday TV, not just your DVD's.
I'm personally looking forward to the day when we can buy a TV that is nothing more than a very large computer monitor. No speakers, no tuner, no anything. All the sound and video processing would be done in the HT system. Then we wouldn't be paying all the money it takes to design the less-than-effective TV stuff, and all the additional money it takes to squish that stuff down and make it fit.
Somebody out there please sell us a tube with a case and a few video imputs. Save yourselves (and us) a ton of R&D money. Imagine your product at 2/3 the cost of the competition merely because you take advantage of stuff the customer already has !! The formula seems to work very well for the projector folks.. they make a killing.
