Thanks for that. I'll look into Freeview type cards then initially. I would prefer to look at a MS software though as I get that bundled with MSDN Universal. Not sure what enterprise software does this. Remember seeing MultiMedia Streaming Server somewhere but I'm afraid I'm not very good at this sort of thing.

I am going to build myself a Linux media server. This looks to be a fairly good bit of software:
http://freevo.sourceforge.net/
You will also need a TV card that can process digital broadcasts (not just analogue ones).
To play DVD's you'll either need to copy them all onto a fileserver or just use an exisitng DVD player (or any DVD drive in a networked machine).
Must admit i've not specced the machine i'm going to use as a media server yet but i intened to use Linux/OSS to keep it on the cheap.

I personally prefer wires and if i'm going to be shuttling lots of music/video around my network i'd rather have the speed and reliability of wires. I don't want to be unable to watch a movie when it starts thundering or something like that.
I have a wireless port as well, I just don't have this wireless fetish that half the rest of the world seems to have. Shielded cables inside the walls for me, i'm actually getting quite good at this plastering lark as well
Problem is - I've no idea what to do. What are you intending to do? Are there any sites you can point me to so I can check out the hardware/software for this?

Well i spent a fair proportion of the weekend up a ladder routing network cables from the loft to the sitting room (and putting them in nice waterproof trunking as well).
Bloody horrible nearly got blown of the ladder once and putting network cables into waterproof trunking while it's raining seems to defeat the object slightly... On the bright side it all works fine according to my handy network tester. Just one more 13M cable to buy and every room in the house is networked up all ready for a media server distributing sound/images to any room in the house
