Hi all,

I want to stream video from my PC to watch on my television. I know about hardware that allows music and pictures to be streamed, but I have yet to find hardware that streams video as well.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

nope... like I said, hardware is what I'm after. Simple stuff similar to this: The Linksys Wireless-B Media Adaptor (http://www1.linksys.com/international/product.asp?coid=6&ipid=314)
Unfortunately the above cannot stream video, it can only stream audio.

So... I'm after hardware that is similar to the Linksys model above, that can stream video as well.

Hope that makes it crystal clear

If your video card has DVI out, you should be able to connect to your tv andwatch a video.

I know this is not what you want, but a modded xbox?

A xbox with a wifi thing, and samba shares works quite well. I disconnected my cable from my room because the xbox does a better job.

to be honest, I wouldn't mind that, if it worked. Do you know if the XBOX 360 is supposed to have such features built in?
