Vista Media Center QUESTION BuilderBoy2 7/10/2007 3:02:01 AM I am building a new home, and thinking about using Media Center for my home entertainment system: I Know I can use up to 5 extenders. Here are my questions I hope you can help me: 1. How many Cable Card feeds can I install into the main Media PC? 2. How many different TV Shows can go to different TV's: 3. I assume the Extenders will feed into my AV Recievers for Digital Sound 4. Does anyone know when other Extenders will come on the market? Any other tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, John
