  1. Hi,
    Just found the blog and enjoyed browsing through it.

    I was wondering if you could comment on the following or point me to the right link.
    I am considering adding internet streaming abilities to my living room setup. I was wondering what was the most versatile, cost efficient and future-developments-proof setup at this point.
    I am thinking: Apple TV for iTunes rentals and photo/music streaming, Roku for netflix/hulu/youtube/whatever streaming. Would I be better off with the Dlink DIVX extender? I have a desktop PC in the office that can be used as a server. Any other thoughts on what’s the current cutting edge in the media streaming technology?
    Thank you and happy New Year!
