This looks very interesting.=20



I've currently got a mac mini doing duty as a media server in the

lounge and streaming dvds, photos and some home made movies from our

NAS.  (Don't need it for audio as I hate having to turm the tv on to

listen to music - so use I a squeezebox here)



It does it very well but it feels rather overkill.  For $179 (sub

=A3100) this looks ideal for the same job.  And there is a SDK too which

makes me wonder if a HA (xAP...) interface could be written (I wonder

if you can overlay text on the screen (messages etc)...



Can I ask where you got yours from.  Seems to be only a Swedish outlet

in Europe.
