audio video multimedia setup

["cj" <nospam@xxxxxxxxx>]

looking at:

1. a great room
2. 3 bedrooms
3. kitchen
4. office/den


wondering what kinda of audio video solution you guys would advise,
there will be a touchpad in each one to choose a movie or archived tv
show, also a live satellite feed for watching live tv.

im wondering if i should go big ass dvd player or a highend multimedia
computer with massive hdd space.

going to control it all from the den with just drop feeds to each room.

any suggestions/links.

thanks,
