[Hidden-tech] PC to TV Connection?

[Jackie Fallon]

Along these same lines, has anyone used D-Link Boxee or Roku 2 for this?

We had this working for a long while (a couple of years)... hooked a 
laptop up to the HDTV... worked well enough... but we wanted faster 
streaming (for Netflix) so we just went to Google TV... it's a $99 box 
that connects wirelessly to our TV and gives us a browser plus apps like 
Netflix, Pandora, HBO Go, and a whole lot more. We are sooo happy now! 
The only downside is that the networks (or Hulu) don't allow video 
playback on Google TV... but I hear that's coming, as is the Android app 
store..
