Oh noooooooo! Help! They're trying to turn me into a techie. That ain't happenin.' That site is so far over my head…we're talking in the ionosphere.
My reading that site would be like, to use a much loved biblical reference, casting pearls before swine (also a very cool 60s psych/folk band).
Looked into that Very Sonick link, that D-Link thing (that's a lot of alliteration). It's getting very poor reviews. Apparently it doesn't work.
Maybe I'll just move my laptop closer to the TV and do it the Hoya way.

I know i could build and possibly get something better and more flexible, but then I have to build it. Not that i'm opposed to that…but still…
BTW, using a program called SoftSqueeze I can already access my whole library over the interweb
One of the things that I really like about the ReadyNas products is native support of slimserver, as well as a built in bittorrent client, among other things….

Yep - all good. I was this close to going the slimserver/squeezebox route until I wanted to get rid of all my DVDs too and not get into the Blue-Ray/HD-DVD fight. That's when I looked under the hood of the 360.
Does ReadyNAS support a web server?

Distributed video is the next logical step for me…
AVS is such a fun time waster.
That place, along with Audiogon, has cost me thousands and thousands.
