Are you part of the Netflix Generation? How about Youtube? Can’t forget Wii, Xbox, and Playstation, either. It is becoming a fact of life that TV is no longer just broadcast and cable. A typical modern video installation includes an HDTV, almost certainly a cable box, satellite box, or TiVo, and very likely a Blu-ray player, or a Roku box, or an Apple TV, or… you name it. What’s important is that the HDTV is now the portal for a phenomenal amount of entertainment, most of it with great sound. And think about this… a LOT of what is available through your HDTV doesn’t even have a moving picture with it at all! That’s right, your TV is now your music portal too. Whether you get Pandora, or Rhapsody, or even stream music from your computer through to your TV, Blu-Ray player, or Apple TV, you have billions of options. Cable and satellite systems almost always have multiple music channels available – all digital sound. So I will say this once. If you are listening to TV, movies, and music through the speakers on your TV, no matter how much you paid or what kind of fancy pixels, LEDs, or refresh rates you got, you are not getting the benefit of true hi-fi sound. By far the simplest solution, and most economical too, is the Boston Acoustics TVee Model 20 soundbar, featuring an included wireless subwoofer, simple one wire hookup to the TV, and super-simple remote learning feature so your living room so you just use your regular old remote as normal. It’s a no-brainer. So, as Ben Stiller says in Starsky & Hutch, “Do it! Do it!”
