Matthew

  1. Theater tickets
  2. RF universal Remote Control with IR repeaters
  3. 4-channel TV Modulator (optimal , or just fine )
  4. Stereo with 5.1 channel input/output and 2+ zones if possible (home theater and porch), ideally with radio built in… kind of like this but not necessarily with the dvd player. Please realize I haven’t done any serious research and don’t know about whether home theater stuff ever comes with a second speaker output…
  5. Black metal frames from American Frame
  6. Books (titles still TBD, sorry… I’m thinking…)
    1. Perfectly Reasonable Deviations from the Beaten Track: The Letters of Richard P. Feynman
  7. DirecTivo (after we get the DirecTV installed)

Matt’s links are for product reference, probably more expensive than elsewhere so don’t just grab the default…
