[QUOTE="rolls1400, post: 598609, member: 55504"] I currently have a htpc that is pretty old and slow (see my specs). I also just recently bought a new IBUYPOWER corei5 machine that runs mediaportal incredibly smooth. The problem is the computer and its 2 monitors are upstairs and my tv is in the basement. So for me to hook my pc to my tv I would have to buy a 15 to 20 ft long hdmi cord and also run a 20 ft cable for usb (ir sensor). The only other problem I can see with this would be how would I get MediaPortal to always pop up on the 3rd screen (my tv) and not one of the 2 monitors. Anyone have any thoughts about this? Or possibly anyone have a setup like this? I searched and really couldn't find any thread about this. :thx: [/QUOTE]
