The move to the new server is complete. It was relatively painless for me – hope the same can be said for you. If you are seeing this post, then your ISP’s DNS has propagated and is correctly pointing to the new server.

As mentioned in a previous post, I have replaced most of the components in my home theater system. I had set up the current system about 4 years ago when we moved into our current house in Arizona.
