Hi all,
I am a newb to all this online streaming movies etc to TV. I understand some of it I just have not experienced it really until my friend showed me his Apple TV last night.
I was pretty amazed at this with the renting of HD movies and youtube feature.
I am looking for recommendations from you the experts in this field.
Basically I want something to be able to stream my videos/pics off my computer (win 7) to my TV, watch/rent movies etc and youtube.
I have a LG Plasma 50PK550 so no wifi, with a Denon AVR-2310 receiver etc.
My network consists of a Apple Airport Extreme and a Airport express.

I run a laptop and a netbook.
What is the best setup for me ? just get the new Apple TV ?
Will I be able to access images/video on win 7 or does it have to be on itunes ?

Hulu/Pandora/Netflix interest me but all I have heard is the content is no good here in Canada, is there ways around this ?

Thanks for the advice in advance!

Well I went and bought the Boxee box to try it out. Not bad so far.
Question I hope someone can answer for me.

We live outside a major city and use yourlink.ca (broadband high speed wireless) for internet.
I will see DL speeds between 1.0 - 2.5 Mbps. Is this enough for streaming content ?
I was experiencing a few lags streaming video on Boxee last night, not sure if it is because of my speed or Boxee.
I use a Apple Airport Extreme

Thanks Hugh!
Do you think Power over Ethernet for the Boxee would be a better solution instead of wireless ?
No way of running a wired connection to the Boxee right now
Thanks
