My synology and WD Red showed up today. It was quick to assemble, slightly painful to setup, slightly more painful to map the drive, but it's all working perfectly now - emby is installed, infuse likes it.

I do have a question... your APTV4, did you connect the HDMI to your Fusion, or did you simply connect it to the TV? I don't know that the TV's have ARC back to the Fusion unit (yes, I plan to replace my two furrions per your guide)... the reason I ask is, in my unit, I'll have two tv's. And while I can afford two APTV4's, I've certainly considered just having the one, and moving it from the living room to the bedroom and back as needed.

Well actually that would work no matter, just leave the HDMI cord hanging from the Fusion in either room, and move it. If you had two power cords, and two HDMI cables, I suppose that would work just fine.

I have the Apple TV plugged into HDMI 2 on the Jensen TV. The HDMI 1 is plugged into the Fusion receiver, and ARC works to send the audio there. I do sometimes have to re-enable ARC on the TV though. We only have the one TV, but it'd be easy to move if needed.

Fair enough... I'm searching for a good price on two of those units.

Hey, have you ever thought about setting up a sound bar on your tv? I've been giving it some thought, but haven't come to a conclusion yet. It will be a little helpful once the RV gets here. I'm a stickler for at least decent dialogue.. I saw your polk replacement, get that, but I just wonder if a facing sounding bar would work better or not.

It seem seem like my unit would do well with a pair of them...

I think that would be an overall improvement. The Fusion has two extra sound channels that are unused, so it'd be easy to hook one up there or even directly to the TV.

In looking at the photo here -> http://www.irv2.com/forums/f282/lets...ml#post3988874

It looks like the ethernet cable from the POE is actually also powering the ubiquiti. Reading the spec sheet, it shows it's happy with 24 volt POE as it's power, but I want to confirm, your input power to the POE injector is 12 volts yes?

Yes. That injector takes a fairly wide voltage range (12V in this case) and converts it to 24V PoE.

Brilliant. I'm curious how to tapped that power. did you cut the wires going to the stereo and just add a set of wires in butt connectors or something?

It's been a while since I first splice into hose wires, but, yeah, it was something like that. The power back there went to both the stereo and USB/12V plug, so I just added another splice.

And then you ran it through one of those 3 switches didn't you.

Yeah. One switch is the external PoE, one is the weBoost, and the other is the PoE for the router/AP.

It matters, not least because they connect to different things, but they should have been labeled. Not a big deal probably because you can just try them both next time you hook up to cable. Again, be sure to push the button on the wall plate that turns off the antenna amplifier when you use cable (the light should be off for cable).
