Hi folks
Situation
-----------
Ok: I'm tired of watching HD bit torrents on a 17" screen. Seeing that
I'm upgrading to a decent ADSL 2 soon (24Mb/sec down), I thought I may
as well go the whole hog.
So, I'd like to watch Divx, Avi, Mpeg etc on my TV.
I was wondering if something like this would work, and if so, what
compnents you'd recommend.
Idea
------
Build or buy second PC (under $300), Blue tooth it to the main PC
(which streams the video, so as to avoid having to have family PC next
tv). Connect this second PC into TV via TV out card.
Questions 3:
------------
1) How does that sound? I know blue tooth has a transfer limit of like
700kb/s, but surely that should be fast enough to stream data between
two PC's?
Also -
2) Which TV out card do you recommend for the job?
3) I really don't know much about S-video vs RCA output. Which gives
the better picture - and is it significantly better? My current TV has
RCA but no S-video. I suppose if I have to, I can buy a new TV, but it
you tell me the quality isn't that much different, that would be a
bonus.
Thanks to anyone that can help and Happy New Year!
