Hi,
I currently have my PC in the living room hooked up to the TV and my
Monsoon MH-505 5.1 speaker system positioned around the room so I can
watch DVDs and DivX movies on my TV.
Here's my dilemma. I'll be moving to a new apartment and I'd prefer to
have my PC in my room, but I still want to keep all the home
theatre/multimedia/entertainment capabilities available for the TV and
speakers in a living room with NO cables.
With my current setup, this would mean running 3 cables from the PC to
the speakers' subwoofer in the living room PLUS another cable for
S-video from my video card to the TV. I would probably get
All-In-Wonder card to be able to use a remote to control my PC, but
that still doesn't solve the cable issue.
Is there a way I can accomplish this without the cables?
I'm open to any configuration suggestions within reasonable cost. For
example, getting a "home theatre in a box" system for the living room
and connecting it wirelessly to my PC. Question is how and what
components do I need? FYI, I'll be replacing my PC completely with a
new system anyway.
Thank you for any suggestions you may have.
