Anil

Okay, let me start

I was living in an apartment since dec 2004 (please check Openplan living room thread, 3rd in google ranking. lol), but decided to move to a house due to space constraints. Now I've more space to play around with my hobbies.


How i achieved this
I'll update the kit list & finished pics here, but keep the work in progress in my DIY threads here and here. There are some detailed info related to following (gathered from several threads and members):-

Living room

Bedroom 1

Bedroom 2

Bedroom 3


Office (where my wife lives ) room

Kitchen
Roku M1000
AE Aego M 2.1 Speakers

Wiring Hub
Other electric & energy saving bits

Nothing great, taken the route of X10 due to budget constraints. I use appliance module for switching Energy efficient downlights controlled via harmony 685 remote, Subwoofers, 12v suppy for PJ, hidden EE / LED lighting controlled via RF remote.

Automation bits

SKY HD box can be controlled via slingbox. I've sling client installed on my mobile mainly use to schedule & record programs, never miss my fav. program. A camera is plugged into slingbox but not got a chance to set it up for remote viewing

Multiroom audio is achived with Squeezeboxes. Slimserver is exposed to internet, so I can control the playlists of any squeezebox via web interface.


and finally a youtube video of subwoofer, playing bassotronics track

The Home Theatre which sunil has, i have yet to see one, it is just great, i am sure sunil a lot of people will copy our ideas and related, which could be fine, but you know one thing they may not end up to say you even a small thanks, and guess what sunil, even the so called professionals could copy our ideas and related, so this is what is professionals all about, they copy, here, there, everywhere, and claim that they are pioneers in making a home theater, to sum it up, one of the guys has pasted a picture of a home theater on his web, that photo is straight away flicked from some foreign site, so what i am saying, is paste the photo of the home theatre which you have made, or should i say copied, etc?

Anil, thank you very much for starting this thread.

Pic time





Around a dozen more pictures are there in blogs of this hifivision site.

Satish,

It is nice to see the pictures again.

The picture of the Right side(from seating position), there is a major problem. The way i have used the glass wool, the holes, and ply woods, it has been copied near about the same way, but it is not at it's perfection, you can clearly see the plywood holes, which looks bad, i had the same problem, so what i did is made the fabric double, so now in my case the ply holes are near to zero visibility, no wonder it took so long for me to make my theatre because i wanted to be as good as possibile in making the theatre, i was adviced that there is no way to hide the ply holes, it took time, but i found the way out as said.

I suggest please consider to do something about this problem.
