Hardware: Intel i7 - 920 4Gb Ram 500Gb HD 500Gb USB external D-Link WBR-2310 wireless/wired router SHAW high-speed Internet
Software: Kubuntu 10.10 Linux 2.6.35-24 generic KDE 4.5.4 We have a lot of DVDs that we legally own that I have ripped to .avi and have on the USB drive. We have a load of photos in .png and a load of music in .mp3 on the regular HD. I'd like to be able to access all this, and much more, such as Netflix, CityTV.com, and other stuff through my wireless network to my Vizio lcd TV. Even a USB port so friends with photos on a stick could show them would be good. I looked at Apple TV, but unless I read it wrong it's pretty tied to iTunes and Apple video format. Can anyone give me information on how it works on a Linux connection or suggest an alternative approach? Being able to stream Netflix or TV shows from CityTV or GLOBAL-TV is a pretty critical function. Or, am I somewhat out in left field and streaming off the Internet hasn't really got to a usable state in Canada yet? TIA -- an old main-framer getting modern.
