What is DIY Media Home?
DIY Media Home is a collaboration between several people, with a primary focus on Home Theatre, HiFi and Home Entertainment technology. It has grown out of the remains of “Jon’s Guides” and “The Bluetooth Guide” which were originally launched in 2002. The articles and information from those sites, along with various other musings about technology have been pulled together under one umbrella with a new focus on Home Media. Although the main focus of the site is Home Media, there is also coverage of mobile technology, general PC support, articles related to web-technologies, and of course, the original Bluetooth Guide.

Copyright ethos & intentions
A lot of the content of this site builds on the work of others. In some cases content is news-like and is based entirely on the work of others, but is described here in our own context. In these cases we have credited the original source and provided a link to the source in the article. We would prefer not to have any of our content copied, and instead have it linked to, but if you do feel the need to publish content that you have sourced from us please provide a relevant and appropriately placed link back to the original article. Our aim is to help the community, but the webhosting doesn’t pay for itself; consequently we are trying to strike a balance between sharing information as broadly as possible, whilst ensuring people have access to the original carefully-written content on this site.
