	No - but it's something I've committed to doing once I move house (which will
hopefully happen in the next 6 weeks or so.)

	I'll let you know how I get on, and my system will play video content to the
TV as well. I'm hoping to avoid the issues with strawberry jam getting on DVDs
and subsequently smeared on the optics of the DVD player by having everything
stored on a central storage system.
