What I was imagining was an AV reeciever that behaves the same way AV receivers behave now, which is they take a bunch of audio and video inputs and output them to your TV and speakers. Only an option would exist to output to your TV, a video signal modulated by the audio signal from one of the receiver's audio inputs (fed by your Squeeze-thingy of your choice). -- jonheal Jon Heal says: Have a nice day! http://www.theheals.org/ ~~~ SB3 (wired - 6.3.1) | Home-brew PC running XP Pro | DENON DRA-395 | PSB Stratus Bronze (2) | Outlaw Audio LFM-2 (1) | DIY Speaker Cables | Dayton Audio Interconnects ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jonheal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2133 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43945 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
