Who here uses thier computer for a HTPC?
(See sig for system)
I have my AIW connected to a JVC 27" D-Series TV Via S-Video. Works good, text is hard to read so I am looking into HD.
I also have my computer connected to my A/V Reciever (JVC 7000). I have my SB Live Platinum 5.1 connected to my reciever two ways. The first is with an optical Spdif cable for DVD's. Works great but I only get stereo output for games. I have a real DVD player so I hardly use this, only for the DVD-ROM stuff on movies.
That is where the second connection comes in. I use the discrete analog 5.1 outputs from the card and using (3) 1/8" headphone jack to L/R RCA jack adapters it connects to my reciever's analog 5.1 inputs. This works excellent for games giving me true 4.1 & 5.1 output. FPS games take a whole diffrent direction when you can HEAR where your next kill is!
What about you? What do you have connected?
