    ok, i want to use my plasma to the fullest extent. i already have telewest/NTL’s TVDrive, which is an excellent bit of kit, but is there anyway to hook my PC (which is upstairs) to my TV downstairs wirelessly to view my HD videos reliablely or do i need to physically hook my PC up to my TV?….and also can i expect a true HD picture from my PC. I am using powerDVD to view HD video and it does “seem” to be a far superior on the PC, but will i get the same quality of picture on a far bigger monitor?

    I recently did this with my Xbox 360.While running Vista if i turn on my 360 it comes up as a windows media extender,when youve set it up you can stream HD films/content wireless from the pc to 360 and watch them on my HD/LCD. 😀

    PS will not have that functionality,

    also be aware you can stream your recorded tv from media-center to your tv, but no AVI movies/films

    Also in my case with a LinkSys media-center extender it is 11 mg wireless which is not enough for shock-free streaming
