Re: [OT]: was ADSL Modem + Wireless Router your opinions?

["Gary" <questuk1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

thanks Ian,

since posting I have come across this
http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/pages/products/data_mediamvp.html

its a PC to TV media streamer, which was another thing I was trying to
do, but it has to be a wired ethernet!

so looks like I'll be going down the wired ethernet route anyway, any
tips or particular models I should look for?

does anyone have the other media streamer, and what are they like to use?

thanks

regards Gary
