i have to say that my exps with upnp and DLNA are not overwhelmingly positive, but it does mostly work to some degree, just not usually elegant. interestingly, thats exactly what i think of the squeezebox paradigm. neither one is elegant. by far, the single best thing about apple is airplay.

I tend to think, sadly, that for slim devices to make money, they need to integrate video. Audio fans want their crisp neat audio interface, but I think the mass market wants video as well - they want their downloaded tv/movies, they want youtube and netflix and whatever else they are watching.

That's what I figured here, too, having the same experience. With the Boom and Controller never having problems and with five other wireless devices not complaining about connectivity, it had to be the Duet. But replacing the router has made the Duet as reliable as everything else, even

You don't have to do things the Apple way. You can jailbreak ATV1 and ATV2, and presumably the ATV3 will follow. With the jailbreak, you're able to install XBMC. XBMC should give you all of the flexibility you want to stream your content. In my personal case, I have my XBMC master system that
