According to CE Pro, Exceptional Innovation has developed a way of integrating aenCommunityServer 2008.5 SP2 (Build: 40407.4157)http://msmvps.com/blogs/chrisl/archive/2006/03/26/87897.aspx#88420Wed, 29 Mar 2006 23:18:21 GMTd67277c4-116b-43f1-b688-e9ef184ea916:88420chrislMy hope is that EI releases just the software/product needed t take advantage of the keypads. I really hope purchasing Life|ware is not needed, it looks like a great product (and I've heard it is), but a bit to pricely for the average user.<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://msmvps.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=88420" width="1" height="1">http://msmvps.com/blogs/chrisl/archive/2006/03/26/87897.aspx#88230Tue, 28 Mar 2006 19:11:55 GMTd67277c4-116b-43f1-b688-e9ef184ea916:88230GregLove EI stuff only a couple problems. <br> <br>1. Media Server $4000 <br>2. Control Software $5000 <br>3. TV Server $8000 <br>4. I may be wrong on this but Microsoft DRM does not support multi zone audi streams. So those of use using Napster or Yahoo music are out of luck.<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://msmvps.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=88230" width="1" height="1">http://msmvps.com/blogs/chrisl/archive/2006/03/26/87897.aspx#88079Mon, 27 Mar 2006 23:54:39 GMTd67277c4-116b-43f1-b688-e9ef184ea916:88079dannyis this going to be a specialized thing? or can it be used with any MCE? <br> <br>I'd hate to get locked into a single provider for this kind of thing.<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://msmvps.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=88079" width="1" height="1">
