[QUOTE="MartinH Scotland, post: 650148, member: 336720"] Hi Vipersan I agree that a networked computer based system is a must and it is something I will include for music, my current network is based around 9tb of buffalo terastations in a Raid1 configuration and contains (amongst other things) excess of 130k mp3s and 70k zip karaoke tracks. But I would prefer to see this running in parallel with a stable HDTV and blueray based system. (While I'm happy to tinker with the system, my wife would want to be able to sit down and watch TV/movies when she wants and not when I've managed to reconfigure the system for the third time that week) I have looked at SkyTV and Freesat and figure to achieve the minimum flexibility I would need to have two SkyHD boxes and two Freesat boxes on an SMATV system, it’s not the kit cost that bothers me it’s the fact that (including broadband, telephone and the movie channels) a two box SkyHD multiroom setup is running at about £95 per month (£95x12), call me a tight fisted Scotsman but I would rather spend most of the £1140 a year to buy kit that would keep Mr Murdoch's hand out my wallet.
