Bringing Digital Video Back to the Living Room

You can burn DVDs of your home movies (and you probably ought to, just for backups), but what if you want to make a movie library to match your computer-based music library? Watching video on a computer is no more fun than listening to MP3s on the computer’s tinny internal speaker. The solution may be one of a new generation of products that link the TV in the living room to the computer in the office.

Elgato’s EyeHome, does just that (reviewed by GiantGinkgo). Like the D-Link Wireless Media Player (both products appear to be sourced from Syabas), it allows you to browse and view movies, pictures, music, and the web in a small set-top box connected via ethernet or WiFi.
