for their home? I am thinking of doing this for both internet movies and getting a big hard drive to put my dvd's on it to be able to show them all over the house. If this is a repeat....crucify me but give me the info on how to do it/preferred hardware. I am fairly puter savvy so hit me with it. Thanks

Need to have a Wireless-N speed router, especially a Draft 2.0 router. And have N cards in all your computer systems to receive at the high speed. It's very hard to stream HD quality video at a low bandwidth. DVDs should be relatively easy since they are only 480p.

NP...Linksys has their own models of the same thing as well. Don't know who you are using for your wireless hub and what not...Plus that one I linked is designed to handle HD video...there is a more standard video one as well that's a few hundred cheaper.

It handles HD content like the other one, currently BestBuy.com has it listed for 299.99, so same price as the other as well.
Both use the Wireless N protocol in case you didnt' see that.
