I built a pretty nice HTPC about a year or 2 ago and it works great. I have it hooked up in my one media room.
But here is my problem, Im not able to watch all my movies and videos on other tvs in the house. Believe it or not, I dont have 5 brand new HDTVs with ethernet adapters.. lol
so i have 3-4 other tvs in the house that Id like to be able to watch all my movies and videos on. a friend suggested I get a WDTV hub with 1TB and load up all movies on it, then get the little WDTV for all the other rooms and they will all work together using my home's wifi and stream full HD video.
This sounds like a great way since I cannot hook up a HTPC to some of my older tvs in the kid's rooms (they would have to be svideo or rca or whatever).
so here are my questions.
1. if i go WDTV hub, can I add more than 1TB of storage? like an external HD to it or upgrade the internal?
2. does full HD really stream over my home's wifi okay without problems?
3. will it work okay for the older tvs using svideo or rca (obviously i know wont be HD)
4. are there any other better options like the new googletv, popcorn hour, etc?
