But it is physically cumbersome, and I was wondering whether I could get a smaller central unit. This is what I've got in my kitchen (where we use the radio most).

A Tivo Box.
A 19" TV to monitor what's going on
A big old Sony amp
Separate Speakers (TV speakers being crap)
plus (as it happens) a big old Sony CD player

So, I have to have cable going in to the Tivo;
I have to have something (HDMI) coming out of the Tivo into the television;
I have to have something (simple headphone out socket) coming out of the television to take sound to the speaker system;
I 'have' to have RCA input into the amp from the CD player.

I would like to simplify this.

It's not so much for me, as I'm happy enough, but supposing I was ill (dead even), my partner would have problems with all the connections...

Or is this too soon after Christmas dinner to think about?

Allen.
So, (and correct me if wrong) your partner is going to worried about connections of equipment if/when you die.

I suggest you get a life.
