The TV-Out of my server (which is in a seperate room) is connected to a stereo AV RF Modulator, which broadcast the AV signal as just another TV channel on my internal TV cable. I have 4 TV sets running off that cable. As for control, that's where my slimserver network comes in. All TV's have an SB3 next to them which main role is to play music, of course, but that can also be used to remotely control the MythTV server over a Lirc (Linux Infra Red Control) plugin and 'lirc junction box' I wrote in Perl for this purpose. http://a213-84-196-8.adsl.xs4all.nl/slim2lirc/lircjb http://a213-84-196-8.adsl.xs4all.nl/slim2lirc/Mythbox.pm I also added some menu options to MythTV to watch the output of an Axis IP camera on my TV's (again controlled by the SB3).
