I am currently runnin the whole thing in a test environment just to get it right. I am trying to convince my wife that this system is the futire for entertainment so it has to be spot on!!It might help to explain my ultimate scenario, which may or may not be possible. I plan to end up with 1 TV server, with a Win TV PVR and a standard freecom digital tuner. I want to have a TV client in the lounge, dinning room and bedroom, so we can get a mixture of TV around the house and watch different channels in each room. The Sky box will be plugged into the PVR tuner, and a standard aerial into the freecom usb unit. I would like to be able to control channels etc from any room.I have an MCE remote, with the IR unit, and to transmitter ports to control the skybox (I have tested this with Vista MCE and know this works). From what I have read I guess I need to have the MCE IR unit plugged into the server with the transmitter mounted on the sky box. I should point out I have not configured any of this in media portal yet! The bits I am not sure of are...........I guess I will need an IR receiver in each room (lounge, dinning and bedroom)? If my wife is watching a standard channel from the freecom unit in the bedroom and I am watching the sky box in the lounge, if we each change channels will we intefere with each other, i.e. if she changes to say BBC3 will it change the sky box channel that I am currently watching? I dare not even ask if the other ir transmitter output available on the MCE unit is capable of controlling a surround sound amp for the lounge system as well?Am I dreamland with this setup?ThanksAndy</blockquote>
