Sight and Sound

I just picked up a Samsung DLP 50" HDTV, a Samsung HD DVD Player hooked up to the TV via DVI and to the new receiver via optical audio. The receiver is a Yamaha HTR-5650 Receiever with a Klipsch Quintet II 5 piece satallite speaker system and Klipsch 12" 440 watt Sub-woofer that is sitting at like 10% level since I live in an apartment for a little while longer.

Now I want HDTV cable channels, at least for HBO. Also I need a better Sci Fi channel feed, it is horrid here on the apartment cable. Well actually all of the cable sucks here in the apartment complex, it is piped in from some non-normal cable company in Atlanta called Apartment Media Works. So in order to get HDTV I've decided to get DirecTV. Now that I also have a TV worth watching it is finally time to get a Tivo. So, after a quick (and uneducated) search of the web I found a Hughes HDTV DirecTV Tivo DVR .

Here is a picture of my new system.
