Do some searches for "netvista", "netstation, "ibm 2800", and "ibm 8364"
on ebay. Sometimes you can find these in bulk for pretty cheap.

Ok, I will see if the manufacture what is needed to implement lmce.

It is a bit more expensive, but they have all the digital inputs and
outputs needed to connect to modern tv's, home theaters, and
cable/satellite/HD antenna boxes. They also integrate with lmce so
that you can use one remote to control every device in the house, or
multiple remotes (conceivably one for each room, or each person). This
primarily because lmce usese myth tv as its media distribution
manager. So the hardware has to fit those specifications. <br>
<br>
I could try to build a system on my own outside of lmce, but it would
not have all the features that it provides. And for personal use there
are no licensing fees to use the software, only if you are a reseller
or installer providing out of box ready to go systems.<br>
