Oooh, pretty: Single view of what CD/DVD/XM is on in the house

Ooooh, pretty. I just got my system setup so I have a centralized view of
what is currently playing on each source. I have another screen where I can
see all zones(http://www.charmedquark.com/vb_forum/showthread.php?t=1633 ),
I didn't put the source per zone there as before last night all I could see
was CD/XM. I think I'll have to add this in there.

This by itself is of decent value as I can now create 2+ DVD renderer PCs in
the house, and if someone wants to watch a DVD they can see if DVDPlayer #1
is busy, if so then use DVDplayer #2 to watch. Once there's conditional
logic in CQC, i'll be able to push that logic into the system.

Now all I need is to do the same thing with SageTV, and i'll really be able
to seperate sources from zones and have a one-stop-shop for all audio/video
entertainment and control...
