Streaming movie into living room
lanux128:
i've been watching movies on my PC for some time now and i am looking into the best way to stream those movies into my TV with most minimal fuss, i mean without 15-20 foot cables. :) please do let me know if you have a similar set-up and/or any advice on how to go about this.
tinjaw:
If you have a TiVo, get a wireless setup and run the server software on your PC. If you don't, get a Slingbox. Many of my friends have either setup and like it.
lanux128:
i'm also looking into wireless streaming or powerline wall adapters that can act like wired network. btw, correct me if i'm wrong but Slingbox seems to the other way around - TV to PC. on another note, retail-brands like TiVo and Slingbox isn't an option due to non-availability of those products here.

They have the SlingCatcher with makes it bi-directional.
How far is the TV from the computer? I had one of these and they worked great.
