Bedroom TV replacement

Just finished installing a 19" LCD TV and DVD player in the bed area. The previous 13" Panasonic was OK but starting to develop issues with intermittent drop-outs. Had to whack the front to get it to operate many times. Further, with the coming switch-over to digital RF broadcasts (we do have converters) it would be a lot more convenient to have a TV with the digital tuner.

Finished installation:

Bedroom LCD TV

Probably latter this year I will get at replacing the front TV, but still haven't decided on the size.

Happy New Year everyone!

Ed, You do nice work. Where do you have the wifi router mounted?

I have the WiFi router on top of the front TV. that is the highest place and it looks thru the fiberglass nose cap so it picks up the cell signal (Sprint).
It is a Linksys router that you plug in the Sprint EVDO card directly.

I plan to add an outside antenna for EVDO or 3G reception but haven't gotten around to it yet. I am using the former cell antenna that Barth installed (was broken off when I got the coach)for one of my UHF/VHF ham antennas.

That framed item is a digital time and temperature piece. It has a receiver so it syncs to NBS time automatically. I Wish it were lit or had a back lite.
