Any chance of this being later rolled into maybe a VOD (Video On Demand) server? It would be awesome to steam a video from a server without the client mapping a drive.
This isn't as hard as people are playing out to be.. Here's how to do it, use splitcam to split the video stream into VLC server in the background leaving Media Portal in the foreground. Next use a instant messaging client and a macro on the remote machine to send input to the server, use a macro on the server to read the IM off and send the keystrokes needed to change the channel, switch cards, etc.
