I've been doing a lot of reading and I'm absolutely fried.
This is what I have
Comcast service - don't have HD boxes
Computer Room
- WHS 2011 computer
- Main computer (ceton resides in this currently) Win 7 Home Premium
- Ceton Infin4 card (want to put in server but not sure)
Bedroom
- Linksys DMA 2200 Extender
- Logitech Duet Receiver
- 47" LCD HD TV
Family Room
- Yamaha 3900
- Logitech Duet Receiver
- LG - Netflix cable blu ray player
- HTPC - Gaming Win 7 home premium
- 47" LCD HD TV
I want them to all talk together!
Thought of running WMC because I like the interface but it seems that WHS 2011 won't run it. I only want one computer on at all times (WHS 2011)
Was also planning to put the Ceton in the server and stream recorded shows to the HTPC and the Linksys DMA.
Here are my questions
Will the Linksys DMA 2200 only work on WMC?
If only WMC? Is there an WHS 2011 ad in that will stream to a Linksys 2200 extender or should I get another devise to stream to bedroom?
What software would be an alternative to WMC that would allow me to stream tv to family room and bedroom using the devices I have?
Where should the Ceton go? - Best placed based on my configuration.
To add, I have channels that are HD but no Hd box, The ceton is HD capable so it seems to me that I don't have to pay Comcast $10/month for each HD capable STB. Is that correct thinking?
In a nutshell - want my WHS2011 machine to record HD tv, distribute that to various receivers I have (or will need to buy) Stream ripped DVD/blu Ray to same areas, have an easy to use interface (so my wife can set up and record Tv and play back in either area). Is that too much to ask??
Sorry for the long post but thanks for looking.
