You mean a computer? Like the one that runs file-sharing clients?
Like the one that nobody really wants to watch large quantities of television on?
Perhaps more like the mac mini that's plugged into the big plasma screen in the living room? Or one of the many stereo-component-styled "media" PCs sold for the same purpose, perhaps even running Windows MCE, a commercial operating system sold precisely because people want to hook their computers up to televisions?
Or the old-school hacked XBox running XBMC, pulling video over SMB from the PC in the other room?
Or the XBox 360 which can play media from the home-user NAS in the back room? The one with the bittorrent client on it? :-)
Don't forget the laptop or thin desktop hooked up to the 24-60 inch monitor in the bedroom/living room to watch Netflix Watch It Now content (which there is no limit on how much can be viewed by a customer). -brandon _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list NANOG@nanog.org http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog
