RE: Getting back to my TV distribution problem

["Andy Laurence" <andy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes there is.  Check US Ebay for an "Xbox Media Center
Extender".  They're cheap (as are the Xboxes themselves), and probably
work out cheaper than a decent TV-out card for your PC!  You get a bootable
CD, and a remote control in the box.  It's an all-in-one solution.  I plan
(eventually) to use my Xbox and a MCE server as sources for my whole house
system.  I've got an AV switch with 3 zones (some including RGB), and I'll
plug at least one Xbox into the inputs.  Then it's a case of running the
video over a CAT5 distribution system. Unfortunately, before I can do that,
I've got to run all my CAT5 cables again, as it appears my sparky snapped
all the cores when pulling them.  I've only got a couple of pairs at most
sockets, and no pairs at all on some.  Fortunately, I've not redecorated
yet!

Cheers,
Andy

......could I use an Xbox (not 360)? I seem to recall that there used
to be a software package from Microsoft which would allow a standard
Xbox to be used as an MCE extender....anyone confirm this?
