Hi,
I've been on the home automation trail for some time now. The 1 thing I have not organised yet is multi room audio / video, but I'm now at that stage and have to make a descision. The best thing I've found (in my budget) is the Squeezebox. It simply looks great. I want somthing that does much more though.
What I will have is a 8" touch screen tft in each room hooked to a PC board. This will run software that will do all the squeezebox can for audio, but for video too. Surf the web, watch a move, view the CCTV etc. It doesn't seem that hard to me, but I've not found anyone else that has done this yet.
If anyone has any bookmarks or has done somthing similar, could they let me know? I'd love to get some more ideas, find out what worked etc. I've not seem any commercial product that can do this all from one screen either.
Mini ITX board with Hi-Def video etc, and 8" TFT touch screen are very reasonable now. I reckon I can put each together for a reasonable sum.
Thanks.
