Hi guys, newbie here. I have a decent gaming rig and I plan to hook it up to a home theater system. I have two choices right now. 1) Onkyo HTS S4505 5.1 2) Onkyo HT-S6200 7.1 My rig is equipped with a Creative SB0880 sound card, it has an optical out so I plan to hook my HT through the...

Hello! I will be testing an Onkyo 809 receiver hoping to get nice results from the room correction specially for my 3 subs. My source will be a HTPC so I understand I will be sending the audio via HDMI in order to get DTS-HD etc. What about my windows settings? Currently my settings were for my...

I will be adding links to this OP as the build project progresses to posts of interest, pics, and pertinent web pages so return here if you wish a quick reference. Last update: 5/15/2015 Research Phase (The actual build to begin mid-July due to budgeting issues.) I’m planning to upgrade from...

Any owners of one of these in original, factory configuration? I am rebuilding one that had been cannibalized and would llike to get some pictures of the original inside layout. Thanks.

I've been out of the build it yourself PC arena for a long time now and have no idea where to begin for component selection for an HTPC. I've got an old Dell Dimension I could recommision but feel it would lack in performance I'd need for bluray playback. So, I want the ability to "do it all"...

Hi! No matter what I try, I have never been able to get 7.1 analog from any movie using either MPC-HC (or variants ) or PowerDVD14. I can test all 7 speakers working with the windows or creative control panels but when I try a movie..nothing on my side speakers.

So after a long time researching I finally got my W1070, 3d Glasses and screen. Sadly things are not good. I connected my new HDMI cable to the mini HDMI adapter that connects to my HTPC (GTX460) and it never finds the signal, not even during Bios boot. This same adapter I have been using with...

Gentlemen, and girls too, I am hoping a few of you' all might part with some of that hard earned knowledge and help me venture into live sound so I might help those that set up for Worship get a more relaxed sound at church. After a few years of tweaking my system at home and getting pretty...

I'm using a Win7 box as an HTPC with a basic Nvidia card with HDMI out, fed to a Pioneer VSX-1120 receiver, then HDMI to an Epson 8350 HD projector. I have been having issues with the display going to "white noise" on the screen whenever I load the youtube page. I can go to Vimeo and Netflix...

So Frustrated. I purchased a Panasonic 8000 projector 1 year ago along with 6 pairs of glasses TY-EW3D3MU (2 small pairs for the kids a 4 mediums for the adults and bigger child). I also purchased a Denon 4311CI AVR and a Seymour 130" curved 2:37:1 screen. I became very ill and was unable to...

I currently have about 12 Terabyte's of movie's. I currently have a Word document which I print off, then my friends find a movie to watch. Is there a program/database I can use with my P.C. that will show the name of the movie along with a picture? Something I can update when I store movies...

Hello Gentleman, I am a long time HTPC enthusiast and need a little advice. My Home theater and HTPC setup is of the living room variety, it is our one source for everything, and I have been trying to figure out a way top up the ante and make it a complete replacement for my UMC-1 for processing...

What do you folks use for HTPC software to view/play movie collections, stream media etc.? I would really like to have one application that will do everything I want and easy enough for my wife to control with just a remote. I have a harmony One. Our house has one TV/pc so streaming...

Hello all, I have never posted in this section of the shack. Honestly I read much more than I post anyway, though I have been absent from that lately due to work. I have some time off and am looking at buying or building a htpc. Last summer I bought a couple of pivos boxes running linux to give...

I really like the tiled Windows 8.1 "metro" GUI for my HTPC. The metro apps are perfectly sized for my 1080p screen. I can just start typing and it will automatically search Bing and my drive for files. Internet Explorer 11 Metro is the best browser I've seen for HTPC. I also like the Bing news...

I'm wondering, how many of you out there are using a HTPC as a prepro? I can tell from the REW threads that there are quite a few of you :T! Please share your opinions, experiences, and configurations in this thread (also your pet peeves, failures and frustrations).
