Like we did not see this one coming... Pay TV industry loses record number of subscribers August 10, 2011 12:28 PM EDT NEW YORK (AP) — The weak economy is hitting Americans where they spend a lot of their free time: at the TV set. They're canceling or forgoing cable and satellite TV subscriptions in record numbers, according to an analysis by The Associated Press of the companies' quarterly earnings reports. The U.S. subscription-TV industry first showed a small net loss of subscribers a year ago. This year, that trickle has turned into a stream. The chief cause appears to be persistently high unemployment and a housing market that has many people living with their parents, reducing the need for a separate cable bill. But it's also possible that people are canceling cable, or never signing up in the first place, because they're watching cheap Internet video. Such a threat has been hanging over the industry. If that's the case, viewers can expect more restrictions on online video, as TV companies and Hollywood studios try to make sure that they get paid for what they produce. In a tally by the AP, eight of the nine largest subscription-TV providers in the U.S. lost 195,700 subscribers in the April-to-June quarter. That's the first quarterly loss for the group, which serves about 70 percent of households. The loss amounts to 0.2 percent of their 83.2 million video subscribers.

August is Outdoor Installations Month. Share pics and descriptions of the coolest outdoor sound and outdoor theater systems. It doesn't matter if the home is a giant castle or a little balcony on a condo, the point is that it was the place to be due to the sound (and possibly video) system. Residential systems only please.

Hello Everyone. After a ton of discussion, Gary decided to make a dedicated section for the Special Features that we will be undertaking as a group. Special Features!! Meaning that we are doing something cool each and every month!! We have done the Rackmasters things a couple times, but there really wasn't any structure or order to it. We just has the 2011 thread in June, so we decided that EVERY June will be Rackmasters Month at IP.
