Remote TV viewing

What is the generally accepted method for watching BTV from a remote TV.

BTV with (2) WinTV-PVR-500 http://www.hauppage.com/pages/produc...pvr500mce.html in the Server.


Potential Setup #1. BTV Server hardwired via 100MB Ethernet to each TV location (3) in all using the Hauppauge MediaMVP http://www.hauppage.com/pages/produc...pvr500mce.html but I also saw a comment about not being able to play a file over 1GB which rules out DVD's. :-(

Potential Setup #2. BTV Server output to 3 DVD Payers all set to Channel 3. Connect via Coax to each of the 3 TV's and setup remote blasters to control the BTV and DVD players.

Potential Setup #3. (1) BTV Server and (3) BTV-Link's with 3 PC's, one for each TV.

Potential Setup #4. ?

I am looking for a central Server so I can set programs to record and be able to play back from any tv plus do pause / rewind of live TV from any of the 3 TV's in my home.

I see lots of comments but I want the BTV to be remote from all three TV's.

Am I nuts or does the technology this just not exist to this extent yet?


Links to other post will be appreciated.

Thanks for any comments in advance.
