I'm new to gbpvr forums and I've found it to be an awesome resource.
I'd trying to find appropraite hardware to set up a media server in my home without having a pc in every location around the home for recording and playback of TV etc signals.
The only/best hardware that I can seem to find for the thin client part of the setup (in the lounge room) is the Hauppauge MediaMVP device.
I would really like to be able to do away with my DVD player and convert to one device to handle playback and recording but I can't find a thin client device that can support 5.1 sound that works the same way that the MediaMVP supports 2 channel stereo sound.
This seems to be the only thing missing for me to jump in boots and all!!
Has anyone any suggestions about how to get 5.1 to the lounge from the server without having a PC in the lounge room (wife won't go for PC's all round the house...)
Thanks
JT
