Plasma tv & preamp hum-not a loop
Yeah..a lot of plasmas give off a low level hum or noise all by themselves. Some won't notice it. I didn't notice mine until I replaced it with an LCD..whisper quiet.I think the power supply has something to do with it. Unshielded transformers are...

LMAO!!!!! 
TV Selection: Two Questions
Yeah it is actually plasmas that are being phased out..not the other way around. lolI scratch my head every time I see someone say a plasma is best. Best always depends on what you use it for. It isn't the best for all situations. 
Blue Ray players with AVI playback capabilities
I haven't see one as yet.It would be easier to buy a small PC or HTPC with a Blu ray drive. This will do all of what you ask and much more.

Here's your answer 139 HDTVs' power consumption compared. 
Roku player now streaming HD movies from Netflix
I also use my HTPCs for this, but I wouldn't mind trying out the Roku in the bedroom or bedrooms. Being wireless makes this thing an easy way to try out movie downloads.The way it looks fellas, it want be long before you get HiDef sound over the n...

Actually I stated I wasn't sure if compression was the cause for the difference I see compared to cable . It probably has more to do with the miles of copper and equipment used by cable companies.Yes this is true..UHF..is used for digital transmis...

The table top models work well for some . It will not do as well as a roof or attic mounted antenna. Radio shack will have most of what you need. Walmart sells the table top versions fairly cheap. Try it without the amplifier first. You may not ne...

Lefty, yes you have the right idea. Your plasma most likely has a second coax input and HD ready. Unless it is a monitor and not a television per say. You can buy a self powered antenna if you so choose. Or you can add a inline amplifier if necess...

High End audio card need recommendation
Here's one to add to your list ASUS Xonar HDAV 1.3 Deluxe sound card. So far this is the only place I've found it in the States Lagoom. I haven't tried it yet. It is at the top of my list when I settle on my OS to use it with. Which for me looks ...

You could also just mount it in the attic. Get yourself a 4 way amplifier. If you do not have the extra cable down the walls already..wall fish 4 new outlets or have someone else to do it. That is it..you're done.If you plan to drop cable TV, just...

No not sure about the DVR..I don't think so. I do know DTV offers a OTA tuner that works in conjunction with your current box(Direct TV DVR or standard unit). It will allow you to integrate the local channels into your current guide and select the... 
I want to use an OTA HD antenna...
Your DTV box works in lieu of a digital tuner. The DVRs will do the same. Yes the interactive systems being implemented now are the future, where all services are combined into one system. I would love to try AT&T U-verse, unfortunately it isn...
