Newbie Question - Integrating Audio/Video/Data, etc.

["Karl Moore" <karl@xxxxxxx>]

Good Evening Gang!  :)

 

My name is Karl Moore and whilst I did some work with X10 arena a few years ago, I've pretty much slacked of late and really want to get into the scene again.

 

I'll be moving homes soon and want to kit my new place out with a whole new setup. Thankfully, I have 100% control here - the house is essentially a shell and not even the walls have been built yet. Therefore, I'm just looking for a few starter tips to get me going...

 

Basically, I'm looking to - if possible - integrate all my audio, video and data services. I mean, I would like to have "one source" for networking, audio and video streams. Over the Big Pond, I know they have "media centres" to handle all that jazz - but do we have anything similar over here? What's the best way to create a fully-integrated home like this?

 

Couple of X10 quickies too - anyone know where you can buy a CP290? I hear you can control this beast programmatically using the VBX control at www.ieenet.com - would be interested to hear any thoughts on this.

 

Thanks, guys - really appreciate any help you can provide!

 

Toodle-pip!
