Re: Re: Cheap whole house MP3 access

["Matthew Keay" <m@xxxxxxx>]

I Get the feeling this is a really stupid Q.... but - i assume you'd use a
gfx card w/ TV out - then distribute it as normal - on a specific channel.
(Restricting you to 1 output for the entire house.. // or various TV outs
on
different channels..)..

So whats the normal/integrated/easy way of doing that?

<cringes as he clicks send on the really stupid post....>
