Re: wireless connection to a TV.

Well, as I mentioned Intel has WiDi, Dish has whatever Hopper will use.
Apple has AirPlay. Basically, they're all more or less proprietary. WiDi
is a published standard; maybe over time wireless HD will unify under that.

Or maybe DLNA (http://www.dlna.org/) will make the need go away. Many
newer TVs & Bluray players already support it. There are free (and paid)
apps for PCs. Using DLNA, any capable device can serve media to a capable
player using the local LAN infrastructure - WiFi or wired. On the PC, for
instance, you might run Samsung's free Allshare app and tell it to serve
your "Videos" directory. On your HDTV, invoke the applet for media playing
and navigate to your PC then the videos folder & select a video to play.
Or stream music or photos; whatever.

The main issue I've seen so far with DLNA is codec support but that should
resolve itself over time.

Do they make a lan to hdmi converter? So if you have cat 5 throughout
your house you could do it that way?
