thanks for all your help eskro, I know some of us test your patience by asking the same questions over and over, but its a prime example of why people are moving back from boxee to xbmc after dabbling, this forum is uber helpful.

If it works I will be getting an identical second system so I can replace my ATV2 (jailbroken with XBMC) in the bedroom too
