Vista MC Streaming to rest of House? "[ at ]sh" <blah[ at ]blah.com> 14.05.2007 11:40:13 Guys, Very interesting reading the threads within this forum. I've just got Vista Home with MC and very impressed with its functionality. I'm about to move house and want to pipe Media Center throughout my entire house (3 TV's and a Projector). I've setup my old machine with Vista (still high spec) with an NVidia 6800GT installed with HDI outs, I'm planning on the aerial output from the loft going straight into this box, but then want somehow to use the existing coax throughout the house to pipe the display of this machine to the rest of the house? With regards to the Projector I'm thinking of selling my PS3, buying an XBox 360 to use as a media extender, but would this have hires outputs, i.e. HDI? Any ideas? Cheers, [ at ]sh

Re: Vista MC Streaming to rest of House? "[ at ]sh" <blah[ at ]blah.com> 15.05.2007 11:57:28 Ahhhh so is HDMI a superior format to Component or is the difference unnoticable? Also, any other advantages of the XBox 360 Elite? Thanks for your help!

Re: Vista MC Streaming to rest of House? "JW" <nospam[ at ]no.spam> 15.05.2007 13:31:26 HDMI has a superset of the DVI video interface, however, it also supports digital audio and some extra control line signals. With either DVI or HDMI you have the posibility of poorer color quality caused by converting the video to analog and then back to digital if you have a digital technology display when you use a VGA or component interface.

Re: Vista MC Streaming to rest of House? "Michael Brown" <mike[ at ]NOSPAMmabrown.net> 15.05.2007 22:14:36 Think you mean with VGA or component.

Re: Vista MC Streaming to rest of House? "[ at ]sh" <blah[ at ]blah.com> 22.05.2007 12:42:36 Thanks for this guys, so in summary its worth me waiting for the XBox Elite, so that I can use a HDMI to DVI converter, rather than get the current XBox 360 and use Component?
