About DIY Media Home

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 “[int­link id=“910” type=“page”]The Bluetooth Guide[/intlink]” 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 [int­link id=“910” type=“page”]Bluetooth Guide[/intlink].

Hotlinks Policy

We politely request that you don’t “hot­link” to any files hos­ted here. After­all — we have to fund the host­ing, and people who use hot­links wont ever click on the ads or make the dona­tions that help keep us oper­a­tional. We oper­ate hot­link detec­tion code which noti­fies the vis­it­or that they have used a hotlink.

Site Updates

Since we track all changes and tweaks made to the site any­way, we decided to make this a pub­lic [int­link id=“2807” type=“page”]site updates log[/intlink] so that people can see when we’ve fixed site errors. For most people this is prob­ably of little interest, but if you want to know how we fixed a par­tic­u­lar bug this is the place to look — it might be rel­ev­ant to your own site.

Recommended Sites

Rather than hav­ing a “blog roll” dis­played on every page we have a ded­ic­ated page for [int­link id=“2987” type=“page”]sites that we recommend[/intlink].  Rest assured — none of these sites are sponsored links — they’re there because we vis­it them regularly.
