Ah, I thought you were more concerned from a security or intrusion stand point.
There is no doubt that there is a quality issue of wired vs wireless, but when watching Neflix or old YT music vids, it is negligible (of course it depends completely on the content source quality).
I also have a wired connection to the surround amp/receiver so I can play stored (high quality) music through the system and yes, I can detect a difference vs wireless, but playing a DVD on the laptop and putting it through wirelessly, well same thing. But you really have to have a critical ear and eye to detect the difference.
But for being able to put anything that is on the computer through the system, for me this works really great.
TY for your reply!
I recently added a 3TB NAS portable drive to my setup. Now, I can process (cut out commercials, etc.) recorded TV shows on the desktop computer in my computer room, save them to the NAS drive, and watch the results via the WDTV box on my main TV in the living room.
I recently added PLEX to my ROKU box. PLEX actually allows me to connect my desktop and laptop and play video on the hard drives on the TV.
More and more we are getting to the point that the computer world is talking to the video/TV world.
