The question is - how could we pipe that around the house to different tv's so each is independent (i.e. changing the channel doesn't affect the other tv's) - do we need to get a set-top box for each tv? Any help/advise greatly appreciated -------------------- "We are number one, all others are number two or lower!" - The Sphinx, Mystery Men "A computer without a Microsoft operating system is like a dog without bricks tied to its head" - annon "What a terrible thing to have lost one's mind.
