> 1) Have you sucessfully used EPOD Wireless? If yes what did you use?
> Cost/buy it from.

Not yet...but Dan has.  LinkSys Access Point plus PC card for around $400
or
less.  Coming to UK soon (but no price info yet).

>    2.1) Internet access (using ICS or what?)

I have used mine to surf using ICS but it's tethered to a PC via serial
cable until I get Wireless LAN stuff.

>    2.2) HA software, e.g. Web Browser to Homeseer or similar

I will probably be running Terminal Server and ACE Client on mine to act as
a surfing machine whilst still allowing access to DigiGuide etc that I find
useful in the AV Room.

>    2.3) Accessing files from EPOD to server

I don't have a reason for this.

> 3) Given all of the above, how does this all compliment or replace
> somthing like HomeVision?

Definitely doesn't replace HV etc.  Compliments an HA system by providing a
nice coreless touchscreen interface at an unbelievable price!
