Here is what I would like to do. I want to be able to connect a HTPC to the TV in the living room. Record shows to the PC / storage drives I have in the basement and be able to watch them in either bedroom or living room.
Currently the computer in the basement is running windows 7 ultimate. I will be building an HTPC for the living room most likely H67 with a dual core SB CPU. The two additional rooms will end up with intel atom based systems.

What is the best way to do this. After some reading it appears windows media center would allow this set up for over the air programs and recordings but copy righted materials can only be watched from the computer it was recorded on. I may have misunderstood the article I was reading though.

If you have a similar setup let me know what you use for media storage / server and what software you are using.
