Hello, I've never really looked into XBMC and dont know much about the different implementations of it. So I'm just going to describe what I need. I currently run a hotel that has Direct TV. We have 40 rooms with 40 TV's. Each room has 25 channels. Each channel is assigned by a Direct TV box(we have 25 boxes). The signal goes through a series of splitters to each room and plays back whatever channel the assigned box is on. If Box 1 is on ESPN then channel 1 is ESPN in every room. This set up is no longer ideal for my business.
My fall back plan is 100% feasible. I think. Use XBMC boxes in every room to simply stream content. Download movies and allow them to be viewed/shared to every box and therefor every room. Maybe throw netflix in there too. As to this solution which box would be ideal? I need a $100 or less box that uses AV hook ups. I also need it to be compatible with cheap remotes to reduce operating costs if guests steal remotes.
Please feel free to alter my ideas or suggest new ones.
