What in particular?

Yeah, but I don't have any legacy devices, everything is going to come 
out of the HTPC.

Ultimately the sources will be:
1) 2-4 DVB-s cards.
2) 1 analog tv card.
3) DVD
4) Harddisk

That's probably true, however, I am going to be running at a lower 
resolution than what modern cards max out at, through better cables 
(separate RG-mumble cables) so I figure I'll be alright.

Not really issues for me, I'm re-building an old house (from 1910) and 
in the process I'm putting in new infrastructure as well as a proper 
home theater, with hidden cabling and pj-mountpoints:

The mounting position after sheetrock has gone up (just today in fact):

Around here the framrate is 50Hz (or 60Hz with zone 1 DVDs) which is way 
too slow to be really watchable IMHO, so I chose to simply repeat each 
frame twice...


> What screen size are you running?
None yet, I'm still building the house :)

The throwdistance is around 310cm, so the picture is probably going to 
be around 205 x 154cm, which I found to be a comfortable size in that 
room, there is plenty of light and that's whith around 30% 
contrast/brightness, so I guess it should do fine:)
