Hello,
I am currently in the process of building ahome gym and I am trying to sort out my video/audio options. I was considering in ceiling speakers..not sure on tht yet.....but as for media... I want to be able to play mp3, dvd, divx, mpeg movies and cable tv.......I have thought about purchasing a home theatre in a box and then buying a stand along DVD player to play all formats... i was considering a pc...but i want it to be clean and simple for the wife.....is there any other media player options? any players??? I am not interested in Networking to my pc
thx

Hey, you'll find that most "theatre in a box" things now play like everything you want and more. Theyre really nice too. I've got a panasonic one with a 5 disk changer for only 150 CAD new. Retail is about 700 though but just look around. I cant recommend these enough.
Plays tons of media formats, gives amazing surround sound for the TV.... its great.
As for speakers in the ceiling, DO IT! Im building a new house (hence the reason Ive been away) and one of the things I did for my room was add speakers all over in the ceiling. Check out model homes, they all have em now.
