I'm planning on building a 24TB HTPC running Windows 7 Ultimate (Media Center). This will link into my existing setup using an HDMI and S/PDIF card for audio and video.
The trick to this application is that I would like to extend the HTPC for multi-room viewing and ensure that when content is paused in one location, it can be resumed in another location.
From my research it seems the easiest solution is use extenders in my remote locations, and run XBMC or other type application on the main server.
Are there any extenders that folks would recommend I use? I've looked at the Seagate and VuNow offerings but I can't tell if the pause/resume mechanism will work. Can anyone give any insight into this implementation?
Many thanks.
