They can be linked for multiroom synced stuff, or run individually, and can be controlled via apache, or using a UDP protocol. The screens are really bright and easy to read. I did consider a 'real' multiroom system hwne I moved in, but as I've only just (literally) got round to tacking and boxing the cat5 cable that links the upsairs and downstairs (previously it was hanging in loops from the stairs, and anoying up by girlfrind no end). I moved in 2.5 years ago, so I'm glad I didnt attempt anything complicated :) BTW, I not sure wether to be flattered or insulted that you called meterbrdige "eyecandy" ;) - Steve
