From XeMC Concepts

Ok This is the last one for today promise XD
One feature that you guys have to consider is multi unit viewing (see bottom of image above)

Well you know how I was saying we'd use XConnect (We'll decide on a name later) would be able to stream media back and forth? Well, we should implement a way to share media between devices, therefore, we can implement multi-room viewing.
How would this work?

Well, imagine for a second, that someone puts a TV tuner in there main Xenion.
Then they go upstairs to there room were they have another Xenion. Wouldn't it make sense to have a way that they could watch post-recorded tv and other media on this Xenion instead of bringing there main one up every night?

That how microsoft does it. It cost 1299 and up for a media center and 250 and up for an extender (which lets you do what it says above) for that price, one could get a souped up Xenion and what.. 3 or 4 normal ones to use as extenders. plus one winrar for us right? Since we don't resell hard drives (or its not part of the plan so far) it makes sense that we sell as many units and as much useful software as possible right?

Also, if you look in the album this picture came from (click the link on the bottom right corner) the last picture shows the LinuxMCE modules section. I think that is how the software installation should work, it it a nice layout.

Anyway for the last time, comment
TTYL,
