More Information

Hello, and thanks for any help you might be able to provide. I'm looking to upgrade my current gaming rig, and take the replaced parts to make my first HTPC.

What I want to be able to do, if possible, is actually have the HTPC connected to 3 different TVs, each in the same room (my soon to be constructed man-cave). The first TV is the 50" HDTV, and it can be connected with HDMI, DVI, or component connections, it doesn't really matter to me. The other 2 TVs will be much smaller TVs that will be on the shelves, and can be connected with anything, as I don't have those TVs yet so I can go buy whatever is needed there.

The purpose of this is, as I mentioned, for my man-cave/sports room in the basement. I'd like to be able to watch the "big game" on my big TV (though will be using DirecTV for that), as well as use the HTPC with it's 2 tuners to output 2 other games captured OTA and each displayed on the other 2 TVs. I'll also use the HTPC to display games that I can watch through ESPN 360 or something similar.

So, can a HTPC display 2 different OTA channels or game feeds over the internet on 2 or even 3 different TVs at the same time?

I hope everything I've said makes sense, please let me know if it doesn't. Also, if I can figure out how to, I'd love to put some pictures up of the man-cave as well as HTPC building process and get ideas and tips. Thanks!!
