If you’re anything like me, it’s impossible to memorize everything you need to know to properly setup and maintain a great home theater experience in your home. It used to be easy. Hook up a good 5.1 receiver with some good sounding speakers and a DVD player and you were set. Well things have changed.
Now you damn near need a Ph.D. to understand what’s going on behind the scenes. I highly doubt there’s anyone out there who knows everything and if they tell you they do, they’re lying. Nope. The only way to attack a field this size is through community.
That’s where HT Bananas comes in. Based on the popular Stack Overflow application, HTB is dedicated to getting your questions answered by people who have experience. Since that may not always be the same person, HTB is based on the community answering questions and then either voting them up of down, depending on whether or not people agree with them.
This isn’t your typical discussion forum. Most questions have definitive answers, not opinions and so you don’t find the bickering and flame wars that you find in community forums. That doesn’t mean their aren’t multiple answers to the same question and that’s where the voting comes in. You’re not just getting one persons thoughts but that of several people with some experience.
The best part of the entire setup has to be the tagging system. When you submit your question you can tag it anyway you like. This allows people to easily find answers to questions that may have already been asked. Anything can be a tag so for example, if you want to know the difference between 720p and 1080p HD video, you might add “720p”,”1080p”, “HD”, “resolution” and several others making the question, and hence the answers, easy for others to find.

An airline captain was breaking in a new blonde stewardess. The route they were flying had a layover in another city. Upon their arrival, the captain showed the stewardess the best place for airline personnel to eat, shop and stay overnight.
The next morning, as the pilot was preparing the crew for the day's route, he noticed the new stewardess was missing. He knew which room she was in at the hotel and called her up wondering what happened. She answered the phone, crying, and said she couldn't get out of her room. “You can't get out of your room?” the captain asked, “Why not?”
The stewardess replied: “There are only three doors in here,” she sobbed, “one is the bathroom, one is the closet, and one has a sign on it that says 'Do Not Disturb'!”
