good point.

If I do get it working of course, then I'll need to buy a second one - one
for the sprogs to play lego starwars on, which is only hauled out wnen
required, the other hidden away in node0 connected to the AV amp
etc.....unless - are there any wireless controllers for the xbox - either
RF or IR (since I have wired IR) so the single xbox could serve both
purposes (and games could be in glorious surround sound too) ?
