Cool.  Now I bet there's a stumbling block to all this (apart from the
need to spend time setting it up!).

My boys are only (just) 5 so even the small xbox controllers are a bit big
for them - I'm betting the RF ones are not the small size....
Any ideas where I can get small RF ones?

I guess my poor showcenter is for the bin then.

Seem to have the anti-midas touch with technology these days.  Upgraded my
wifi to a linksys srx model with mimo blahblah - better 802.11g
apparently.
It lasted about two weeks - just long enough for me to have passed my old
WAP54G onto my dad :/  That's 3 or 4 wifi units (3 x linksys, 1 x belkin)
that have just died on me for no apparent reason over the past 2 yrs :(

anyway, I digress - thanks for the suggestions guys.

cheers

Tony
