Has anyone routed their HTPC through a HT receiver. I assume would be possible. I am in the first stages of building a HTPC/media server to store and play my DVD collection and currently have a decent system in place. I was thinking of using a HDMI video card and streaming it through the receiver in place of a sound card. I am DIY'er and looking for advice. Also if any one wants recomend build specs for components(motherboard, V card, processor, case ), that would be appreciated as well. So many choices and would like to get it right the first time. Thank you in advance for your expertise and replies.
