Got it...

As always cross posted on my other blog.

Ok... got my TV on tuesday. Installation was quite quick and hooking up my freshly aquired PS3 worked without problems. I then tried to put the PS3 into the network and had to search the Inet to find how to do it... finally, I rebootet my router and the problems I had went away. Spent more than 2h on that.

I bought "Ratatouille" as BRDisc and "Fifa08" and "Uncharted" as games. Haven't played "Uncharted" yet because "Fifa08" kept me busy :)

Overall I'm really happy with my TV setup. I tried hooking up a network drive via USB to my PS3 and that worked too (after I found out how to set up the folders). Unfortunately, the network HDs I have cannot be accessed by network and USB in the same time. And it doesn't switch unless you turn of the HD and turn it back on.

So I took a look into how to set up a media station and decided to give a try to the NSLU2 from Linksys. Normally, you should be able to flash it with a Linux distribution and install further software on that device. But my first attempt on that didn't work out: a) it didn't let me select a mirror server within the debian installer (it always jumped from the ftp server select screen into the proxy server screen and *without* me doing anything instantly jumped back into the ftp server select screen. I talked to a friend who already set up 2 of those devices in that way and even he told me that this is strange.

So, I just flashed it back to the old firmware and I'll give it a second try later this day...

Have fun,
Stefan

Stefan, make sure you get the TV setting recommendations from the avforums. They find the best setup for movies, games etc. and you just enter them in. It made all the difference on my Samsung :-)

Hi,

thanks for your advice. In fact, I read through the avforums lately and set up my tv using their settings. While I like the image, my wife and the kids did not. So I took the standard settings and simply pulled down the backligh intensity (which was set to 7) and the contrast. Gives a nice image for most SD TV shows... For BR I still switch to the avforum settings :)

Have fun.
