Hello, A newbie I am. I am attempting to learn about how to inexpensively build/buy a system that comes close to doing what the "Kaleidescape ™* system does.
I want to get digital copies of my DVD and CD collection on to a server that I can search and retrieve for viewing/listening. The Video out would be HDMI to my HDMI 1080p projector and the sound would feed a 7.1 Yamaha Receiver.
Can you point me to the best forum to learn more about my options?
Thanks
