I had an integrated hifi/HT when I lived in the states.

Somehow moving to France did 2 things: (1) made me value having separate systems, and (2) helped me see more clearly that HT wasn't so easy.

Keeeeeerist. The wires... The wires...

I've got sattellite, VCR, and DVD, not to mention a silly antenna on the roof. The stuff is all multi-system multi-voltage, and can play anything but non-zone 2 DVDs released by Columbia. I've got SCARTs and coax and RCA dangling all over the place. After weeks of sorcery, I finally got the mess to work ("Honey, stop breathing. You're screwing up the reception.") And y'know what? I use the speakers in the TV. That's right. I don't even have a separate audio (even though I have another system or two in the attic.

Why?

1. I'm a dinosaur.

2. I'm lazy.

3. I seem to prefer "watching TV" to the whole neurotic HT experience.

4. Actually, I don't seem to like watching TV much at all.....
