Okay, my friend has recruited me to help him set up his new house with a kick ass home theater system. He will be going balls out on this, and money is not too much of an object.
First lets begin with what I know how to do. I can build him a PC. This PC can serve up music and video, and live TV to one TV.
What I need help on is serving this up to multiple rooms. He'd like to have the ability to watch a different show in two rooms, and record one of the streams. He'd like to be able to listen to some different music in each room (nice, but not necessary), along with playing the same music throught the house for parties. I've read about the Media Center Extenders, but I read they are not able to deliver HDTV. Is there any way to multi room HDTV and the audio that comes with it, apart from having multiple HTPC's?
