NOT SURE IF I'M EVEN ALLOWED IN THE INNER SANCTUM OF THE "INSTALLERS LOUNGE", BUT NEVERTHELESS, I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN FINDING OUT SOME SPECIFICS ON THE S link-e AND SONY MEGA-CHANGER HARDWARE/ SOFTWARE RELATIONSHIP. I DO HAVE A HOME PC, BUT IT IS ON A DIFFERENT FLOOR AND THE MOST REMOTE CORNER OF THE HOUSE OPPOSITE THE LIVING ROOM WHICH HOUSES SAID HOMETHEATER. I WOULD LIKE MY COMPUTER INVOLVED ONLY AS A MEANS TO OPERATE AND PROCESS THE S LINK DEAL. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE SOFTWARE SCREEN IMAGES ON MY TV AND NAVIGATE THE SCREEN WITH MY REMOTE. AM I ABSOLUTELY HIGH? CAN THIS BE DONE? IN SIMPLEST TERMS I GUESS I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A "REAL PLAYER" JUKEBOX THING WORKING ON MY TV FROM THE COMFORT OF MY COUCH.
ANY THOUGHTS?

I have an slink-e setup with a sony megachanger.
The PC in is one room connected to the S-linke by cat5 cable with DB9 adaptors on it.
The PC is also connected to the TV in the lounge, a different room from the two above. This connections is by Kat5 (www.kat5.tv) which is also cat5 based.

Control is by Pronto (well Maranrz RC5000i) using girder (www.girder.nl) receiving the IR through the slink-e.

Hope this helps, drop me a line for more info if you wish.

Bruce.
