I have no problem with storms and my directv. only the OTA antenna is affected at all by the rain/wind in my experience. 30 seconds of static of the future (blocky / blackout) for an hour show and that's it.

this is on top a 3 story house next to an apartment building with a huge tree in the neighbors yard.

I went this route, and I'm happy I did. The picture is the same because I don't have a $500 dvd player and cable/dtv broadcast in 480p. 56"dlp > 47" plasma.

I looked at those too. I don't know about superiority, maybe a couple more options with UR. However I wouldn't use those additional features and they were substantially more than my harmony 880. You'd hgave to spend $150 more on the mx-810 to do what the 880 did in terms of features I wanted, which isn't much. Also, the 810 has rubber buttons, which suck. So I'd have to get the 900 at the least, and that is a $300+ remote. I paid $115 for my 880 shipped to my door.

Agree.

Its slow, doesnt respond properly to commands, oh oh and wait till the volume up and channel up buttons stop working.

Id love to just slam mine against a wall, to bad my mom uses it.

Al Hounos

it looks just as good on 1080p Blu-ray too. 61"dlp > 47"plasma/lcd

Well the issue is mainly in my apartment deal i am running of a few circiuts bridged out of the garage and it would be a PITA to run more lines and add more circiuts. After we got out 47 inch in the house i noticed that sucker uses like 5+amps and i was just wondering if the LCD's would not tax my electrical system anymore than that or maybe it would be more effecient. This realy isn't a budget thing it is more of a practicality of the juice i have available to me know thing. But puting it in terms of usage ie the bill was simpler than laying all that out. FWIW there are a couple of 50 inchers on sale at wall mart for 1200, and 1300 respectivly 1 a sylvania, and the other IDK the brand. The picture looks good on both but i would also have to rearange my entertainment system to fit it as well.
