Technology woes

jwg and I have mentioned somewhere along the line (I think only in comments in other people's journals), we bought a TiVo last week, only to discover that the unit had a defect that caused its audio to fail after a few minutes of watching. So we went back to Best Buy and exchanged it; the new one is fine, no problem, and we're getting good use out of it.
So, being in the mood for "home theater" toys (more especially since the arrival of the extended Return of the King DVD), we went to TweeterEtc on Friday to buy a set of surround-sound speakers (the Polk RM10, for those who know/care about such things), did some measurement, went to Radio Shack to buy some more speaker wire, threaded wire through the closet and around the back of the living room, and got everything hooked up.
( But... )
So we still haven't watched the damn movie. Putting it off until at least tomorrow isn't so bad, though, since we'll probably be watching the Patriots tonight in any case.
