Im unsure what your question is. “How do you start a business…” or do you want to know what products would do the job for a business you described?

Personally, I would use Microsoft Home Server as a backend media/storage server and use Vista Ultimate / Windows 7 Ultimate as a Media center connected to the TV. You can get quite powerful Media center PC’s with HDMI out, powered by Intels Atom processor that can handle BluRay playback too.

MyMovies is a great app to install on Home Server to copy all your DVD’s to stream over the network. And you MUST get AnyDVD HD from Slysoft – its an awesome product. Works well with Cyberlink PowerDVD 9 for playing back BluRay/HD DVD’s and normal DVD.

Does this help?
