# Our telly is plugged into the house network
I can download Walking Dead onto my laptop and watch it on the big screen and speakers without even having to get up

I *heart* our telly

# this is the 4th telly i've had in the last 3 years
they have a habit of dying when they get near me. fortunately, i have lots of friends buying plasma screen tellies, so they're always getting rid of their old ones. i've got secondhand tellies everywhere!

# Our house used to be like that
but since our friends moved in down the road, they're now the "poor" house and we offloaded all our old freecycled tellies onto them

# i'm the poor one out of my friends
been saving for months for my birthday party this saturday. my mates called me last night to say they'd already got most of the booze for me and they were rearranging the house to make it look better for my party :D

# We're not spectacularly well off
The place where the missus works basically gave her a sweet flatscreen as a bonus because she's a student

# I use PS3 media server software on the PC
to stream HD files across the house network to the PS3 for full HD glory.

if i understood any of it

# even better
hdmi cable. and etc.

me, i'm using an old power mac as a media pc. it rocks except that it's loud, slow and probably burns ten times as much leccy as a boxee would.


edit: good lord, what happened to my post? i was espousing the pleasures of just having a computer connected to the telly - your laptop if there isn't an old one to connect up permanently. works a charm.
