My big screen tv in the family room has the HD hook up which has a lot of music channels way up in the 1800's and I really like some of them. However upstairs we have Fios but not the HD options and thus dont get a lot of the same music channels up there. Is there a way to route some of those music channels, without upping the fios package, to the upper part of the house, maybe via the computer speakers,etc? Not too savvy with that stuff.

Don't know anything about Fios but if you have a sound system hooked up you should be able to add remote speakers in any location you can run wires. They also have wireless speakers you can use but never tried them other than my BIL's house for the surround sound.

 

The only thing this would get you is the sound in a different location, all control would be at the source if that's workable for you.

No HD TV upstairs? I think you need a digital tuner for the upstairs. Get a new TV - they're cheap

Do you have any kind of FiOS box upstairs? The music channels are not HD channels....but you do need at least the basic box.

Yup, just get an additional fios box for upstairs. Just a few bucks more per month. I have the fios media-DVR option downstairs, and a fios digital box upstairs. What's cool is you can play recorded shows through the regular box. No need to rent two DVRs.

Allright I found them, must have blown by them with the remote before any audio/video came thru, feel kinda stupid!Im very impatiant. Just dont use those tv's much but it dont sound nearly as good as the downstairs surround sound system, that really rocks!Thanx for helping.
