I have a terribly old toshiba tv and a ps3. The speakers on my TV are pretty blown out at this point. So watching David Lynch movies become almost like psychological warfare experiments. |

Joey, you should not be using your TV's speakers. Come on, bro. |

I know. But who can afford anything else? Also, how does anybody hook anything up? |

That looks beautiful, Verm! Very handsome setup, indeed. I'm totally jealous. |

My TV has 3 inputs and it's not cutting it. |

I mean, the soundbar you referenced earlier is $700. That alone is a lot of fucking money. And that doesn't include the TV, any receiver you might need, cables, any other speakers, etc. I don't know, man. It's all about priorities, I guess. But it's hard for me to justify a couple thousand dollars just watch Parks and Rec reruns. |

My TV has 3 inputs and it's not cutting it. I'm curious if the HDMI switch I have will work with 4k hdr. 4k hdr recommends a 18gb/s HDMI cable. I ordered some new cables, but i'm not sure if the switch itself will cause a bottleneck. |

Some cursory searching reveals that there are such things as "high-speed HDMI switches," so I imagine the older one you have probably won't be able to handle the signal. |

I need somebody to go shopping for this stuff with me AND hook it up for me. I can provide pizza, beer/soda, and lodging for a limited time. Who's in? |

For now, I'll hook my lone 4K HDR source directly into the TV. |

Yeah, I did some digging too, and even some of the 4K ones I found only had a speed of about 10 instead of 18, which I wouldn't trust. |

My AV receiver has shat itself - lost sound and network connection. Apparently an issue that Onkyo is aware of and they have a customer care program in place till the end of next year to fix this, but currently in the process of seeing if this extends to NZ Currently everything is running through my TV speakers - and can't play vinyl |
