I'm absolutely enamored with the way that the "client" mode on NPVR is working. My wife has a habit of tying up the main HTPC machine/entertainment center with listening to NPR podcasts ("This American Life", mainly) for hours at a time - which was always a point of contention with us. I've tried to explain to her that she can listen to those anywhere via her iPod.... oh well. No more fighting that fight! I've got both my bootcamp partition on my laptop and my desktop machine configured up as NPVR clients. I'm also considering an nVidia Ion/Intel Atom nettop to put in our bedroom to do the same thing. LOVE LOVE LOVE the ease of setting up client mode.
I thought I had tried that back in the GBPVR days with less success.
Anyway, thanks for making married life better for me, sub!
