I got idea for this thread from the thread about the size restriction on the width of the TV relative to the width of the stand.

We had ours professionally installed as we are in the process of making our house more enjoyable and wanted to get a really nice looking result and I am not, by any means, a craftsman. I understand all the technical fine points and procedures but am not capable of doing them. I certainly can appreciate craftsmanship when I see it. We had a smallish CRT TV and a standard definition DirecTV satellite receiver with Tivo before. Due to my difficulty in learning new things we went with the same receiver only in high def. We are going to repaint the whole first floor walls and ceiling, got a rug for the room the TV is in for sound improvement, and are about to get a whole house generator. We want to really enjoy staying home together with all the fancy stuff we formally went without. We also had 16 "iffy" trees near our house and barn cut down. Everytime there is any large amount of wind, ice, or snow we get all worried. Now we will be ready for a blackout during a snowstorm this winter!
