For now, the PS3 is my media extender. I have a miniDLNA media server installed on my Compaq ProLiant server (running linux based OS) in my basement which the PS3 can see and access my media files. If I want to watch a video that is on a PC, I just dump it onto my server and stream through the PS3. We also have Netflix too that we watch via the PS3.

Works really well for me. Roku has other channels as well with all sorts of content. There are even ways to get pr0n on your Roku.

If you have older than a 2 yr old video card you will either need a VGA cable(the blue headed cable) or you will need a DVI cable(the white headed one) The DVI will look like it has a plus sign on it. Once you have one of these cables whichever your video card uses, then just plug it from your video card on the back of your pc and then plug it into your tv on the back. Keep in mind, you must have a newer tv that has the VGA or DVI connections or it will not work. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Yeh like that's gonna happen. As many people have their PC in a different room than their TV this isn't feasible. Most want to use wireless.

I use the roku its very nice quick small can't think of a down side besides I'm in Canada and we don't get some sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
