OK here is the layout..
there is a big sports DO..
a Fight First game of the season.. the Superbowl...

you have a large number of guests invited..

your Wife/Husband/Bank Robbery Partner has OKed a new tv
one of those Huge ones with a surround sound and the whole works..

now the Question.
would you order this two days prior to the big day and
schedule it for the same day of the event??

Or would you order it a few weeks ahead and have it in (and learn to use the remote)
for at least a week???

At least a week or two, for sure Santa

Gotta do a "dry run" with the Conference finals... make sure you know how to work the dang thing thoroughly

The sales should already be started by then,
and you look like a genius for handling your new baby with great skills!

two days prior.
What's it take, 30 minutes to master a remote?

you know what they say. It's hard to soar with the eagles or watch the Playoffs in style when you work with turkeys.

WHERE is your sense of adventure!!!!!!???????

Of course you get it the day of...nothing like working under pressure to remid you that you are alive!!!!

Imagine the agony when you find out you have the wrong @**^%$@#@& connectors and it won't work without them!!!!!! Imagine the glory as you break all known records, speeding into town to radioshack to find the right connectors. Be amazed that your line of BS actually worked on the cop that pulled you over!!!!!

Imagine the pure exstasy of making the last connection and firing it up just in time to see the clock tick to 0......

Man with all the potential emotional highs and lows I'm surprised you even thought of an option "2".... I say "2" is for weenies!!!! Go for the excitement!!!!!

Order it way ahead of time. You never know if what they bring to deliver will work. Didn't someone have trouble once with their new home theater system? Was it Molly?

I wouldn't trust that there wouldn't be a delivery screw up.

That's because women can't handle mechanical things so when they start crying because they can't figure out the remote, we have to be able to come to the rescue.

You're right. I haven't found a woman good enough to deserve someone like me.

Don't forget about the cable guy coming out to install your HD. Last year my husband ran out of a really important meeting (in the Pentagon

) to make sure the cable guy hooked up our HD.
