[QUOTE="OgdenP, post: 173264, member: 54818"] Rather than the long video cables or wireless connection, have you considered using a client/server arrangement (my guess is that you probably have, but discounted it to reduce clutter :) )? Sounds like an interesting setup, though. I am a new user of Media Portal too. I've just set up my first dedicated HTPC using an ASUS M2A-VM HDMI Motherboard with AMD 64X2 4000+, 2 x 1G DDR2-800 RAM, 1 x WD 500GB HDD and SATA2 DVD Burner with a Compro DVB-T300 and a DigitalNow TinyTwin dual USB tuner, in an Antec NSK2400 case and controlled with a Microsoft MCE remote. I've only just connected this to the TV for the first time on the weekend and still have a few issues to iron out, but so far I am very pleased with the facilities it provides and the picture quality on our cheap old TEAC TV (connected via S-Video) is vastly better than the built-in analogue tuner. - Peter (also from Perth, WA) [/QUOTE]
