Philadelphia, PA | What's the Big Deal? I just run a cable from my video card t.v. out and a cable from my sound card to my t.v. and watch movies all I want, so what's the big deal?

I imagine it would be a pain if your computer was upstairs and your TV downstairs.
Also, for HD, I would imagine long HDMI cables are expensive. | |

1 edit | said by nasadude:the whole idea is to get rid of the cables. I imagine it would be a pain if your computer was upstairs and your TV downstairs. Exactly. That's the situation I have now. My computer is upstairs, but we watch TV downstairs. I would love to use my upstairs computer as a media server, but I don't want to run cables through my walls. I would love it if I could stream the videos over my wireless connection from my computer upstairs to my TV downstairs. | |

| | | | Re: What's the Big Deal? internet over poweline. thought about that? i'm considering it. i just moved to a townhouse and my router is upstairs. i got an old switch we used to use for LAN parties i might use to get my 360,PS2 and PVP online. | |

| | | | | Re: What's the Big Deal? Well, I already have a wireless network set up. So a device that could automatically connect to the network and load the videos on my computer upstairs would be really nice.
After some searching, I did actually find something:

Interesting, but unlikely that I would convince my wife that I need to spend $160 on it. | |

Smyrna, GA | For ANY type of cable. www.monoprice.com is your friend. Do NOT buy ANY normal length HDMI cable for MORE than 10 bucks.
