Digital TV
We’ve had crappy Adelphia analog cable for the past 7 years. It’s been ok, but not great. With the move, Adelphia isn’t an option, which is a good thing. We went with Dish Network over DirecTV because of price, and DirecTV doesn’t offer anything more than Dish Network. The signal is great, the sound is clear, and the picture quality is outstanding. We’ve only got the bedroom hooked up for now. The TV in there is an older one with only a single analog input. We have to run the clean digital signal through an RF modulator to convert it to the analog signal. I’m sure we’re losing some quality at that point, but it’s still pretty damn good.
I’m really looking forward to getting the main entertainment center setup, so I can use S-Video to connect the Dish Network receiver into the TV. We’ve got to see about investing in some surround-sound speakers. The house is wired for it, but the old owners took the speakers with them. I may do that today while out at lunch. If they’re not too expensive, I’ll pick some up. They need to be able to mount on the wall since the holes for the speaker wires are fairly high up on the wall. It shouldn’t be a problem.
