Title: Getting it all on the TV
Post by: mindracing on December 28, 2003, 09:19:57 am

So now that I have my MC handling everything I need to hook up my TV to my network.

I have looked at Pinnacle Show Center
 http://www.pinnaclesys.com/ProductPage_n.asp?Product_ID=1481&Langue_ID=7 (http://www.pinnaclesys.com/ProductPage_n.asp?Product_ID=1481&Langue_ID=7)
and it seems to only use its own software.

What would do the same but work with MC?

I don't want to use another PC and I do want to hook in to the network.

I looked at some similar devices. Linksys has one and also SMC. The SMC claims to distribute music, photos and video with remote control over wired or wireless LAN. Don't know if the remote would work with a MC plug-in or not.

Linksys didn't do video, but pretty similar to SMC.

Any advice from the MC experts?

I expect you can use that remote with Girder (may need a plugin for girder though).
Girder can do alot with about any remote so just search the forum here for some Girder & MC threads or seek the girder site on the web.
