How many movies per week

i dont get the whole theatre room thing. I do think its just a new name for the formal lounge of the 90's. I would rather just have a open living room and spend the money on a good hidden system in there that I can turn on as needed.

This is exactly what I am doing. The one 6 x 4 m room with be the home theatre and formal lounge area. I envisage using it to do our regular TV watching, particularly in the evenings. We'll have another TV somewhere central if you want to watch TV elsewhere.

Ours would be more for tv/sports/games/music and just the occasional movie.

Like this Law?

This was the dual purpose room in my old house that was built as a living area and a theatre room.

In my new house I am lucky enough to have a lounge room, family room and a dedicated theatre room.

I love the fact that my wife and I can go to the "cinema"whenever we like without the need for a babysitter.

You watch movies about fish??!

Hi guys, in our new place we WILL have the dedicated theatre room. We have swapped the formal lounge for an entertainment room for the children. Sick and tired of one child wanting to play playstation, one wanting to watch a kids video/dvd, husband wants to watch the car racing and me watch a movie. Hmmmm running out of rooms here....The solution is to have heaps of TV's in the house. We already had a large rear projection widescreen panasonic tv which we will hand over to use in the kids area...Playstation looks great on the big screen too.

We are hoping to have a 50" Plasma in the family/meals/kitchen area to keep a minimalist look on the wall and then have a projection system in the theatre room. Still one short for one of us, but the kids will have to share for the moment. Already have the surround system, but might get some speakers to put into the alfresco ceiling.

We currently have a Yamaha amp/reciever/tuner, yamaha sub woofer and front speaker, B&W frnt tower speakers and Jamo rear satelites. Works well, but would love to turn it up and "FEEL" the sound go through you. Not often though does that happen.
"Turn it down mum !!!!!"

Hey Matt, do you recommend pre-wiring in a single story home or can you wait until after handover?

Might give you a buzz to have a chat......

I have no issues with using the large screen ongoing. We already have the widescreen rear projection tv, but need more to cater for all "tastes" in our family. I am sick of the fights over the remote control. We also had 2 Foxtel units, but there were still arguments over who watches what and when on the 2 tv's that had access.

So the more the merrier is our attitude.
Again, need to build the house first, but we know that we want piece and quiet in the new place. Too many tastes to cater for on one big screen.

As my 3 y.o. hands me a car racing dvd to watch as i type.... he's been brain-washed by the hubby!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's sleeping with the fishes.....and the sheep....

Yeh, Nemo's not intersting anymore i suppose, he's outgrown The Wiggles too, not into Hi-5, but the weather is getting better now so playtime in the park is looking good. We practise ABC's & counting instead....next physics & English Lit......

Anyway, that's mostly my day,
