Hello Bob,
off topic as not aircraft related.
Bob, you can go even a step further, my Audio setup consists of several
Logitech boxes (squeezebox receiver, boom, duett
<http://www.logitechsqueezebox.com/products/overview.html>) all feed
from a software called squeezecenter running on a NAS (Network attached
storage) a box smaller then a shoebox. All my CD's are stored on that,
all songs downloaded, streaming is trough WLAN from that box and radio
is Internet based, so wherever I am, I can listen to my favourite radio
station as long as WLAN and broadband are there (also in my shop 30
yards away). Next step is TV, a central TV server will be able to stream
via high band WLAN to any (Laptop) TV client. Not yet there but close.
My TV lives on the LAN too, so music and pictures from the NAS can be
streamed on the 42" in addition.
Telephony: my home base number is on a SIP account provider, going into
holidays, you just take your phone number with you and hook it up on any
broadband access (did that last year in Australia) calling cost are local.
The modern digital world of communication....

When Dad built this house, I strung hundreds
of feet of of twin-lead antenna and twisted-pair phone
lines around. Today, none of those wires
are in use. A single strand of glass comes to
the back of the house to deliver telephone,
high speed Internet, and soon to be TV. Both
Internet and telephone are hardwired from the
fiber modem to network nodes that move
all data around the house over spread-
spectrum radio.
