rlustig: When I say "reboot" the system goes through what is called "optimization". (You can access and turn on the function in the Media Center setup.) All it does it take Media Center off line and restart it. I do it at 3AM - I've never had a problem.

I had a Vantage system in my old house - LOVED IT. For now I'm planning on putting a Vantage system in my next house - tied in with Life|ware, of course.

I'll put in a Russound or Netstreams distrubuted audio system soon - I've been busy and I didn't prewire the house for it when we remodeled.

Nothing out of the ordinary, here. The advantage I have is that through Web Services for Devices (WSD) my subsystems literally speak the same language as Life|ware - it's the next generation of UPnP. Can you believe it NO MODULES! Try that with Crestron.
