A thought on iTV.

[love/hate]

sod paying a fortune for having an itv box next to every tv,
get the monster itv cable, plug it in to your mini dv/ dv port and then into your standard audio/phono ports on any tvs or screens you have.
you then have access to all your films, tv shows, music, web browsing....you name it. you can do it on any screen, and it's excellent for going to see mates and showing the latest funnies.

this is the best value for money and simplest solution i've found, my macbook acts as my dvd player, music player and library for all data too. and if you have a external drive your possibilities are endless.
obviously not much use if you're a desktop user, go buy a laptop..

TV IS DEAD
