Ok, so I am moving into a new house. 5 students, all downloading and sharing films and TV shows.
I need something that is a media server, but I can also plug into a TV to watch the stuff in the living room. I assume this is reasonable simple, network a 2TB HDD (NAS or home made) and install WMC or something similar (probably freeware) and plug in an HDMI cable.
In theory this is possible, any one actually done it? Or know of products that could?
I'm reasonably good at networking and I've built a billions machines, but ideally I'd like a P'n'P solution because I'm lazy. Any thoughts SF?
