[mythtv-users] MYthTV replacement for Intercom?

[Mario L]

Paul,

This sounds like a great idea, but how many rooms are you looking at
doing - it seems as though it will be a bit pricey?  I do think your
ideal setup will be to buy identical hardware for each room, and then
netboot each machine, however - just so you can maintain such an
extravagent set up.
