DVD Player as 802.11b Peripheral
sysadmn writes "Instead of building a PVR from a computer, why not let your DVD player access the computer you already have? That's the thinking behind Sonicblue's new Go-Video D2730. The just-announced DVD player will use an 802.11b (Wi-Fi) wireless network connection to access content on PCs, such as photos, music and videos. The player is aggressively priced at about $250 US and is due out in first quarter 2003. Full details are on CNET."
All you have to do is make a Pringles-can antenna and drive around for a while...
This is wonderful. Now, in addition to DDOS attacks and hacking by the RIAA, we can have wardriving by the MPAA!
...
But honey, I swear that the DVD player just started pumping out pron on its own!
Are your floors or ceilings made of metal, per chance?
"And like that
I agree, I bought a cd player with 30 seconds of memory. So now when I hit a bump I hear the skip 30 seconds later.
What I really need is a DVD player that can stream data to my wireless computers. It would be nice to be able to continue watching a movie on my PDA when I need to take a bathroom break (slightly lower quality video would be ok)

Just post under your normal user name. There's nothing wrong with pimping your own project. No need to AC-post.
