Just thought I would make a quickpost about my HT I have just finished building. Its been designed so that the room works as a normal living room as well as a comfortable HT.
Before - As I moved in
How it looks now (9MB Animated Gif)
The room is still not finished (the sofa only arrived 48h ago) but the techi part is virtually done.
Things I have learnt
Maybe the screen is a tad bit - may 1.7m would have been better than 2m
The wall with all the cables - rather than channel it out its much easier to creat a false wall/stud and use that to hide the cables
Plan Plan Plan - I can see me wanting to move the rear speakers further back.
Check existing wall switches will be big enough to take any dimmers you want to put in
Things I want to do
Automate the lighting - at the moment the spots work of an X10 controller but the switch also controlls then but not properly - wired in parallel rather than series as it should (again due to poor planning).
