Re: Computer to TV devices? Hauppauge makes a media extender (Wireless Media MVP) with a remote that will stream audio and video files from your computer / router by wireless G. The older version is around $140.00. It will stream audio files and up to DVD quality video. There is a newer and more expensive version for hi-def video, a faster router is probably required...
There are SAGEtv versions of the media extender that will work with SAGEtv software, allowing you to install a TV tuner card (and probably another hard drive)on your computer and use it as a DVR. You could then choose to record or view shows with the Media Extender remote, pause live TV, etc...
You could consider putting together a home theater computer and networking it with your other one... Allows you to play all file formats... gaming... running a tuner card and DVR software on either computer (whichever one you want to leave on all the time), etc... As I upgrade my computer, all the old stuff goes to the HT computer. It's controlled by a Logitech wireless keyboard / touchpad that works great. There's a game pad with a USB extension cord for gaming... |
