One thing I haven’t quite perfected at home is how I watch video I’ve downloaded off the web. Don’t get me wrong, every year I end up with a better and better solution but I’m still not where I want to be. At the moment I use bitTorrent to download videos, then burn them to a rewritable DVD and play them in my DVD player (which plays DivX and other formats). A step in the right direction would be getting something like a networked media player; one of whichI saw on Gadget Advisor. The one I saw reviewed was the DIVCo TViX M-6500A which effectively allows your TV to play videos directly off your network, off a USB device or off its internal hard disk. This would allow me to play videos directly off my computer after having downloaded them. Just perfect.
I’ve only come across Gadget Advisor recently but it seems to have a growing collection of reviews and news about hardware, software and all sorts of gadgetry. So if you’re after that perfect universal remote or looking for some way to backup online; then pop down and have a look. You’ll be sure to find what you’re looking for.

I have been wanting a networked media player and was hoping for apple to release a tv with apple tv built in. I guess I will just have to wait for that though.

sounds good. I struggle with the same problem, and usually end up watching films on my pc/laptop which isnt ideal

Thanks for the new resource on gadgets. For me all I do is download the video onto my laptop and then connect my S-Video connection on my laptop into my TV and then view the video.

I like you download on to my PC and then burn to a disc. Thanks for the tips on a networked media player as that would make life much easier.

I prefer watching streaming video on my laptop and downloading as little as possible…

I also prefer to watch streaming videos, but my internet connection is so slow it takes forever. Downloading takes forever and a day, :).

Gadget finder sounds like a great place to find everything new! It might make it easier to keep up with all the new technology - I’m heading over there to have a look

I’ll need to check out the site- I definitely need some help in getting up to speed on gadgets. Everytime I find something new it seems like I’m behind on something else!

I’m not 100% sure, but my husband set up something similar to this using his PS3 and our wireless network.

Do you think that someday we won’t have to use television sets but can watch everything on our laptops over the Internet?
