Thanks Mark. I'm pretty clear on how you accomplished this great transformation. Hope to see some updated pictures soon, though I know from personal experience how other projects keep getting in the way. Something about fighting...

To address the earlier Stewart screen questions, I'm using my 900u with a 100" Firehawk and am happy with the picture. No streaks like those that have been mentioned, but I really can't comment on specific benefits of the material...

Thanks Mark, very interesting approach. I would have thought to just sister new 2x12's against the 2x8 rafters, but your method is more economical. On the other hand, it may be possible to only have to do every other rafter with the...

I'd use one of the Cat5's to help fish a new Component cable up from the basement (or another RG6 and use RCA adapters on the set). This would get you the highest bandwidth possible and it would be worth the extra effort and minimal...

I've seen something similar on long runs. A signal amplifier fixed the problem. Not sure if that is what you are seeing, but have you measured and compared signal strength at the termini?

Hmmm. I like the wireless headset solution best. IR is O.K., but Amphony makes a 5.8 GHz all-digital RF set (~$250) that would work. Range is about 200ft. Could transmitter wiring use the headphone jack on an auxillary amp or can an...
