Wakrak:
Thoughts on these new arrivals at PB Tech?
My thoughts are that I would have bought those for sure if I'd seen them.
If it's not moving too far away from the topic of HDMI, my old receiver (Denon AV1802) has no HDMI sockets, so audio is T'd off the TV. I take it that nowadays the receiver is in series between source and TV so in my case a total of 10M of HDMI cable? I'm guessing that is not significant as the signals are processed in the receiver before heading to the TV. So am I right in thinking I won't now need audio out from the TV back to the receiver? Or does the HDMI cable that carries the video signal to the TV have an audio return to the receiver — which I wouldn't need anyway? I'm sure it will be clearer when things get delivered and I start putting it together.
Call me a scaredy cat, but my wife is off to the UK next week to look after her mum after a hip replacement, so I'll be fitting a couple of ceiling speakers while she is away, and not even mentioning it when she gets back. LOL The ceiling already has four flush light fittings, two heat pump outlets and a smoke alarm, so a couple of flush speakers with white grills shouldn't be an issue, but I don't feel like trusting that to female logic. One of my surround rears is mounted in a corner with square conduit running up the wall to hide the cable, so I intend carrying on the conduit to the ceiling to get the cables into the roof space. OK, that is as far off topic as I dare go.
