Watching PC Movies on My Television

[EliSnow]

What's the best way to watch media on my PC on my television?

I'd like to do it wirelessly (if possible). I have Windows 7 on a dell computer and watch tv from an amplifier that links up cable, blu-ray, dvd, etc.

Popcorn Hour (http://www.popcornhour.com/onlinestore/) gets great reviews.

Also, this thing (http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/21/atlonas-hdair-wireless-usb-to-vga-hdmi-adapter-gains-audio-u/) looks like it might work, as well.

The popcorn hour is actually the the only true HD of those two selections.

Do you have any gaming devices such as PS3 or XBox?

Apple TV (http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_ipod/family/apple_tv?mco=MTAyNTQzMjU) supports both Apple computers and PCs.

move your pc to your tv.

or

Use a HDMI to ethernet cable back to HDMI converter and use your tv as the dual display.

Greg stop it, we're trying to discuss computers here.

Fuck Apple right in it's filthy core hole. $229 for a fucking hard drive? Fuck you, that's one where the convenience is really over priced.

Especially knowing that I can build a linux pc for about the same price and just use boxee. Or I can get a first gen XBOX/or linux PC/or any other capable hardware (you hear that Greg? choices that can play MORE than ONE SHITTY format) and install XBMC.

Prices on some of these things are a little high.

There are a ton of banned Xboxes on Ebay right now for under $100, stream with TVersity and you can play any video or music, and view photos.
