| Free alternative to sage: GBPVR I use GBPVR (runs on Windows) »www.gbpvr.com , a free application that schedules, records, cuts commericals, etc. as well as the ability to set up locations of video files (plays all avi, wmv, mpg files) and is all navigatable with a Happauge PVR-150 Remote. If I don't move it over to the HTPC box in time, I can use the remote to navigate to my bittorrent directory and view whatever's new.
BTW, I have a fully working PVR computer in my living room and another computer that does all my bittorrent that is on all the time. I only have the PVR on when I'm home (since it sucks a lot of power and all my recordings are when I'm home anyways). |

Willseyville, NY | I'm a little confused by these "streamers". Do they work as if I was doing TV out from the PC - i.e. I can't use the PC while doing this, or do they just watch the video as if I was using SMB to watch the video on another PC? |

| Your server PC acts as a media server to the client machine. You still have full use of your server machine.
In fact, you can be watching your recorded shows on both teh server machine and the client machine at the same time if you like.
On most devices, the GUI is fed to the extender via the network, and the extender merely has an mpeg/xvid decoder for processing the compressed video. |

More than likely a 1/8" headphone jack is on your computer right? Go to Radio Shack, or wherever, and get a 1/8" stereo plug to dual RCA (depending on your TV connections). You could then get a couple 1/8" extension cords to go the distance. If you are running your audio 50 feet I guess that you are running your video cable 50 feet long as well? I think you'll need an amp on that video line it may not survive the distance.
