Great A/V Combobulation


The Great A/V Combobulation has begun.

We have a new TV downstairs that happily cooperates with our sound bar.

The old TV is being relocated in the dining room so:

1. Isaac has a place to put the Xbox so he can play games and not interfere with TV watching

2. We can watch Jackie Gleason as we eat.

There are, of course, complications.

The new TV doesn't work with the old DVD player. Luckily, the old Xbox can play DVDs in the interim until we get that figured out.

Upstairs, I removed a defunct switch and thermostat for an air handler that's no longer here. I covered the boxes with plates. They're white. Now I have to replace three nearby switches and also install a white plate.

Bonus: I have an Atari emulator I can hook up to the "gaming TV" on a semipermanent basis, so Isaac can watch me play my dinosaur games with a real joystick, not one of those Xbox things.
