We're currently looking at it to stream from our Mac to a new TV. Looks like we'll be able to do it with an Airport Express connected to the 2500 with an ethernet cable, or maybe just a plain USB wifi stick that talks to the network that way.

PC with dual tv-tuners to record analog shows like Oprah for my wife. 2. Shows are streamed to my XBox 360 via wired connection, rocks, fluid, never any buffering issues, just works. 3. Watch some movies + TV shows via Netflix Instant On on the XBox 360. Works well most of the time, some movies in HD, streams quick. 4. Purchase movies/shows via the XBox Live Marketplace, quick downloads, good selection. 5. Purchase via Amazon On Demand, stream via my PC to my XBox 360, again, works great. The part I don't like is having to explain to my wife where a certain episode of something is, recorded, Marketplace, Netflix or Amazon. The quality and streaming rocks, the logistics are another story. I want a one-stop shop. My setup that is highly disjointed yet so far working…

I have a PC with a huge amount of HD/SD video on it. I have broadband internet where I watch a lot of HULU and Netfilx. I want a piece of hardware that lets me play all that content on my TV (in full screen/full resolution). Is there one?

Some of my friends and I have been pursuing this goal as well - we'd all love to rid our cable bills. Here's my current setup: * Comcast cable "Limited" - something like $15/mo for essentially just the local channels. * HDHomerun by SiliconDust - a dual qam (unencrypted signal) tuner. Device connects to home network. * Vista Ultimate configured with the following: * Networked to HDHomerun. * Media Center uses HDHomerun to tune into unencrypted HD QAM channels. * MCEBuddy to compress and remove commercials. * TVersity - I *think* this is UPnP software as related to some of the tools you mention above. It streams media to my Xbox360 and transcodes as necessary. Handles my music, photos, and videos including movie collection. Also video RSS feeds, podcasts, etc. * XBox360 - networked via cat5 to home network and acts as a Media Extender and a UPnP client to play media from TVersity. This setup has been working very well. The Xbox handles and plays videos/movies with great fluidity - minimal buffering (wmv files start up immediately and ff and rew, pause, etc very fast.). What sorts of intial issues were you seeing? I'll need to read up on the UPnP sw you mention here and compare with TVersity. I'm thinking of purchasing another XBox as another media extender for the family room as right now it is sucking $$ thanks to Comcast. Also Wii doesn't show our movies very well wireless from the TVersity server. Any reason you can provide to consider PS3 instead of Xbox? I'm not entirely convinced that I need BlueRay and the XBox can be setup as a Media Extender with Media Center. Hi Adam- Interesting and great thoughts here.
