Just starting out here. I have amateur experience with putting together
video systems over the years, and experience configuring PC's an awful lot,
since I'm a software engineer who always seems to be doing more than he
should in the system chassis.

1. Can anyone point me to a good website telling how folks connect pc's to
entertainment centers over WIFI? I'm using a Netgear RangeMax router
currently for notebook--desktop, and I have to say that the thing is a
rock solid connection all the time.

2. I would like to investigate running my PC as a sort of DVR. Any place
for such information?

3. Thinking about running a webcam downstairs----upstairs pc----tv
downstairs

All of this is up for immediate sanity-veto by any of you of course.

Thanks,

Thomas

Sounds like Windows Media Center sic Edition is for you. It'll cost you a new
OS plus whatever special AV cards that you don't already have.

You even get a remote control for your PC !

EXCELLENT!!!! Thanks for that heads up!!! If you discover anything else
that is (perhaps) tutorial or newbie targetted, I would appreciate that as
well. If it is targetted at too junior an audience, I can cope
