4. Make it remote friendly. I had to modify a couple entertainment
centers when folks who were sitting in their easy chair could not
activate the components that controlled what was up on that big screen.
On one such job, I had to cut out much of one side of the opening to
allow access to the infrared ports on the cable box and DVD player.



I have DirecTv. With their box you can get an RF remote. Fantastic that
you don't have to aim it or be in line with anything. Check to see if
that is available for your main components.

I have the latest Genie DVR/DirecTV. Unfortunately it only uses the latest
miniature RF remote. The older RF remotes will not work on the actual DVR.
They, the RF remotes, do work on the clients in the bedrooms however.
