I think it's safe for us to say that streaming has replaced discs now, yeah? ;)


I'm still running Plex. Any particular reason I should switch?

As for my current setup: I have a 43" LG 4K with...

And that's the point I've been making. If you want to squeeze every oozing drop of perfection out of you system you need a format that can give it to you. Blu-Ray is the only format that can do that,...

Re: The Home Theater Showcase Thread

Hey man, I stream tons of stuff too but there is a stark difference between the stream's audio quality and that on a disc. That's my main point. There are no services that provide HD-audio in their...

Re: The Home Theater Showcase Thread

That's my point. Until someone offers a service like the pirates are offering there's little reason to stream anything.

And again, while the quality might be pretty good with Netflix streaming it...

I'm telling you, dude. Streaming is years and years away from replacing DVDs or Blu-Rays.

Go to boxes. Way easier. Then you can just have a catalog somewhere with the movies and where they're located. It's what I will do when I get my own place.

Yeah, there's no legal streaming service that offers the quality you can get from a Blu-ray disk. I'm largely thinking the audio gains that can be had, which is the only pro for Blu-ray disks as the...

Re: The Home Theater Showcase Thread

Nope, easiest thing to do (might be more difficult for novice users, but it's pretty straight forward). You use a web interface to program it. You tell the software what devices you have by their...

Re: The Home Theater Showcase Thread

Certainly, and I'm positive that practically everyone here with a sick home theater setup sees movies in theaters on a regular basis. I mean, few people have a 100"+ screen at home.

Re: The Home Theater Showcase Thread

Yes, I had thought about it, but it doesn't bother me to reach around and unplug the cable. I have easy access and it only takes a second or two. Besides, the PS3 is usually plugged up most of the...

Re: The Home Theater Showcase Thread

Nice system.

Here's an update on my family's downstairs system: I scrapped the DVD player once they released the upconvert feature for the PS3 and then I hooked the cable box up over coaxial so we...

Re: The Home Theater Showcase Thread

Well, cable is the most watched thing on the TV except, it's the parents or sister that do that. If I'm watching something on the TV, it's either DVD or Blu-Ray. Like I say, forget the family and...

Re: The Home Theater Showcase Thread

Yea, two ports is all I got but, I really don't need anymore then that. The PS3 is hooked up through optical and the DVD player is hooked up through coaxial. That's all I need. :yup:

Re: The Home Theater Showcase Thread

Well, if you hook up the DVR the right way you can get surround sound from your cable. I don't have it hooked up that way because I only have two digital inputs on my AUX system and they are taken by...
