Bear with me here as I'm very green when it comes to these matters. As some of you may have seen in my other thread here I've just bought a new Sony 55' LED.
I'm looking at the best ways to stream movies from my PC. Obviously I can throw my stuff on a USB and plug it in. However, I'm curious whether it'll be possible to jazz it up a bit and create something of a UI for these movie menus. Probably unnecessary as the USB will work perfectly well, but since I've shot out a good chunk of money for this, I'd like to give it a go. I could run XBMC but my PC is too far away from the TV. I doubt streaming 1080p wireless across two floor would work. Could buy a HTPC but I was wondering if there are an easier way?
