OK

Suggestions below.

We should talk.  Call me sometime at 314-369-5015.  I can help and home
theater is a passion of mine.  You don't know what you're missing, and there
are options for cheap.


Bottom line is you can get a Visio $348 5.1 channel sound bar from Costco.
This is wireless to the rear/sub.  JVC makes a better one that's all
wireless for about $500.

Step 1.  DVD/BRD player --- HDMI to TV  (gives you streaming movies to your
tv from Netflix for $895 per month.  (Get HDMI for $10 from parts express)
Step 2 -- DVD/BRD player  optical out to Viso soundbar optical in -- ($10.00
for Toslink from Parts Express.)
Step 3 -- analog out from BD player and Uverse to your receiver.

This is just one of many paths.

If you do not have a Uverse HD receiver you will want to get one for two
reasons:

It will have 5.1 sound, which is broadcast for sports too.
If the Uverse set has antenna in, which it should, You can get a $20 antenna
from radio shack and get FREE HD off the air for your local stations, with
5.1 sound.

Ideally you should get:

-- 3 new speakers
-- A subwoofer
-- An AV receiver with at least 5.1 channels
-- Some cables from Parts Express.  (NEVER buy cables in Best buy unless you
want screwed or don't care you are paying 10x too much.)

Best,

JO
