I ALWAYS silicone my IR emitters on.  I've used the C4 emitters for all C4 stuff without problems.  That's about the only thing that I haven't had an equipment failure with. 

DO NOT sell an amp without a matrix switch
  ...of course that's if you can get away with it.  Any project I propose with an amp I also put in a matrix switch (and if I have to I'll low ball the price if they start to waffle).  As dumb as it is the volume (gain) just isn't good with just an amp.  (found out through the forums).

I have that scene for myself... I dream about the days I get to push the button...

Dan feel free to remove this one.  It's late I had to add some humor.  ...and yes we have done that scene for a customer.

#1. DO NOT use the C4 Multi Tuner with Zigbee.
          *As of version 1.2.3.43 the Multi Tuner does not work properly with zigbee.  If you select station, say, 94.5, nothing happens.  It does work correctly by connecting it ETHERNET.

I think this has been resolved. we have one on zigbee working fine, a little slow but functioning fine.

DON'T change the ZigBee server channel right after it started.

Give it a good hour to reach and update all the nodes (switches, dimmers etc.) If you change the channel before the ZigBee server finished its work, you are going to  experience a rather annoying Control4 smart home.

ive got a big question for the do not pile. my dealer had to come and work on my system yesterday, today i go down to watch a show on my direct tv dvr which is set up for sharing with the other Direct TV dvr in the house. I went to the menu to select the show and i can no longer see the other dvr. No big deal i figure they have forgotten to hook it back up to the switch. I go to the equipment closet to check and plug it back in and its plugged in. so i figure it must be something else. i tried a new cable, then a new port, cant get anything on any of them. so i trace out the other cables. the switch i use also has several PoE ports for our security system. They had plugged the Control 4 unit into a PoE port and plugged it into the wall outlet also, could they have fried the non powered ports on my switch?

I don't quite understand what you are saying here. What Control 4 unit are you talking about?

You can either set static IP reservations for each DTV box or use the MRV kit from DirecTV to share over coax.  This happens when using the ethernet port.

I am surprised that there is no warning/recommendation for IR tenting.  Closets and racks tend to be a hot-bed of IR bouncing around and "repeating".

^yes, that was point #2 of post #1...
