RE: Re: ShowShifter vs. TiVo

["Amar Nagi" <amar@xxxxxxx>]

i am there. I have one 9ft screen and a crt projector in my main room
and that is it. all my av stuff and pc is one room away from anything,
i have tele's in each room even the kitchen, and audio in every room
including the toilet (it helps:-)) and bathroom.

I have never looked back.
"no having to match colours of my av equipment etc" :-)

      I think that you have the same Ultimate goal
as most of us on this
      mailing list.
      
      When you get there please let the rest of us
know!!!!!

      Nik,
      
      I'm using WinTV PVR and a Matrox G450 Dual
head - output to the TV
      via the dual head from SS is poo - from most
other mpg sources it's
      fine (as with DVD) ... I absolutely HATE the
fact that you have to
      mute the incomming sound to play something
back... it's pointless and
      could quite easily have been sorted out in
the SS software... I
      haven't looked at SS for a while but I don't
think that a great deal
      has changed...
      
      How much is a digiguide subscription?
      
      Ultimately my goal would be to have nothing
in the rooms in the house
      except for speakers and TVs - and have a
central AV room which
      contained all the music servers, VCRs,
TIVOs, CD /Tape decks, DVD
      Changers and individual amps etc (node 0 :O)
) all controlled via IR
      in each room and available to be controlled
via a PC
      <PLUG>HomeAutomator</PLUG>, rack
mounted of course :D If I can do
      that (and move all the kit out of the living
room then I could
      possible pursuade SWMBO to let me have a
humongous TV
