[Cyknight]

3 cable boxes

3 Movie players

2 Rokus

2 Distributed gaming systems

1 BluRay player

2 Feeds from local source location for local Bluray and/or game systems

7 Audio only feeds

 

Not hard to get over 16

Yes, I see that’s why, I decentralized most of my system, for most listening experience I use either a Receiver to do local video switching and to drive a 5.1 theatre or a Soundbar.  AppleTV’s, Roku’s, etc. even receivers are cheap compared to a $16k setup at the time.  I opted for this while designing my system at the very early days and actually was suggested by my dealer.

Heh, that same someone also has their hands full with it, seeing as it's also the first test system for anything new

More than one way of going about it. Neither is wrong. But the point is that it's not that difficult to go over 16 inputs and outputs.

Absolutely ... It’s a design concept, nothing is wrong, the beauty about C4 that, all is transparent to the user, same user experience and convenience of use.  It’s just programming.

You’re getting right into DIY territory there, not many reputable dealers are going to be willing to get involved with a job involving client purchased secondhand hardware. 

Except for the very helpful and kind dealers that frequent this forum  and are willing to help you remotely.  Most of the folks frequenting these forums are fairly comfortable doing lots of stuff themselves.
