When using 3 (or however many) receivers, do you use different brands so you have discrete codes to control them or just route the IR control only to the receiver for that room?
I guess the downside that I saw to separate receivers of the same brand is you can't easily do a global off, on, etc. In other words, you can't shut off all from one room.
Using different brands eliminates some problems, but adds to the complexity as you have to learn how each works and programs for their separate IR codes.

For three zones with no special keypads or anything
I would go with recievers. That's what I have
at home three recievers with a line level distrubution
amp feeding into them. Just pick three low end
receivers and youll be cheaper than any DA system.
As far as the PC for music, thats also what I
use (not that I would do it for a customer).
You can use a multi channel sound card and feed
different MP3s to each zone.
