....”Recent moves by film studios and television networks to widely disseminate their content on the Internet.....”

OK, lets just say there’s a movie I want to see on the net....how do I get it from the computor screen to my big screen TV so everybody can see it?...do I have to drag my computer next to the TV and plug it in some way?....Can I do this easy or do I have to wade thru another perplexing owner’s manual?....I already got a kitchen drawer full of them now.

I’m no computer geek, so I can’t tell you how to do this. But I’m sure it can be done. And it will get more user friendly in the future.

Yes. Some now lost blog gave me the impression that Microsoft is working on a better solution.

Slingbox isn’t bad. You can transfer any telecast, movie, etc. to a computer. Even take it on the road with you.

Also, many DVR’s have a USB out. You can hook it up to a computer with Windows Media Center and download stuff direct to the computer.

The Xbox360 game system will show video on your TV. It can stream DivX, WMV and Quicktime videos from your computer. It also has a video download store and supports Windows Media Center, so you can record shows with a TV capture card on your media center computer and play them on the 360.

It’s not a dead simple solution, but it works quite well.
