• Whole Home Entertainment - it's not just components like DVD players, VCRs, etc. that are connected to our home theater. We now can watch movies, music and photos anywhere in our house and get the movies, music and photos FROM anywhere in the house.

• iPhone Applications - iPhone's have an app for everything (as the ubiquitous commercials tell us). I've found the apps to make my everyday life simpler and want to share it with you.

Here's the simplest solution I've found!

The DTV transition took place on June 12, 2009

And most accounts say it went well. People who subscribe to cable or satellite TV didn't even notice the change. Others got a converter box to connect to their antenna (we did for a while and got free network HDTV).

Now, the only channels/TV stations that are broadcasting the old analog way are low powered local TV stations (community channels, special interest, etc. that can only be received by a small area).

Coming Soon!

Home Electronics Survival will help you to understand your home entertainment system. Whether it is just a TV, a home theater or anything in between, you will learn to buy, hookup and use your equipment!
Finally! Simple explanations in plain English! Cartoon illustrations not schematics.

You can start with the "HOW TO" section, where you will find technology tips, definitions and a home theater glossary, and equipment explained, step-by-step instructions like how to hook up home theater, and how to buy a tv and "how to articles." And you can order the book, "The Home Electronics Survival Guide".

It's all aimed at giving you a better understanding of today’s (and tomorrow’s) technologies—what they are, how they work and what you can do with them.

Although people are becoming more savvy about technology, many don’t have a real understanding of the basics. No one has taken the time to explain the whys behind the how’s and explanations of how to use a remote, or a menu or how to hook things up. When something has gone awry, many people still feel powerless.

With a broad understanding of how things work, we can

• Decipher the techno-babble of sales people and the industry literature with technology definitions and home theater glossary.
• Have a clearer picture of which products will work for us and what they can do.
• Hooking up your home theater is easy.
• Use your Remote controls.
