I can't wait.... I'm sure I'll run Audyssey about 30 times this weekend, lol.
Our UPS guy normally shows up late in the afternoon, we are at the end of the route. I'll be home by 3pm now, so should be good...

Man, I usually obsess over decisions like this purchase for MONTHS before pulling the trigger... can't believe I'm actually gonna own this beast without having even fully read the manual front-to-back 100 times over. Thank jeebus for this community for steering me in the right direction so quickly.
Still, I'm totally gonna be up all night reading threads and that AWESOME set of 3808ci docs Ray3 hooked me up with... with no audio in my HT, I'll certainly have the time tonight!

Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.

Ok, what are the cheapest recommendations for a wireless/ethernet device so I can update the firmware on my reciever. I don't have an ethernet port on the AV room. Ray said he used a Wireless Bridge? I know there are ethernet over electrical as well, just need something cheap.

It is not quite as easy but I think u can update from the onscreen menu (no external display is required) so u could just take your avr up by your router and plug it right in and navigate thru the onscreen menu to do the update. However, you will likely want to be able to use the internet radio feature or perhaps the network streaming on the 3808 so you will want to set up a connection to your computer and the internet. I use the linksys wireless gaming adapter: it only supports WEP security though, but you can buy a newer model with dual band wireless n and WPA for about 70 bucks. the one in the link is about half the price. I will say that I had a difficult time getting it all networked up with it though.... but now it works flawlessly. http://www.amazon.com/Linksys-WGA54G-Wir...40523853&sr=8-1

I know there are ethernet over electrical as well, just need something cheap. I am using this wireless bridge. Since I was going through the trouble, I also picked up this switch to add more devices as time goes on. BTW - if you run into signal strength problems, you can likely upgrade the antennae on your router.

I've got a HTPC right next to it, why can't I use that?
