what I don’t understand from the articles about the player, I know it has Wi-Fi capabilities, but does that mean you have to have Wi-Fi set up for your computers before it can pick this up?  I am not techno savy, but want to take advantage of my free Netflix movies.  However, my wired router is upstairs and my HD/family room tv is located down.  I do not want to go to expense of wireless set up.

Now THIS Interest me,,,
I am defiantly interested in a box that will let me strem web media on my tv.  The amazon and netflix are cool, I could carfe less about the Basball, but the fact that it is there is good,, Adding a football and other sports would be a big draw tofor other sports fans. My big draw is the media fly deal, and adding their content to the console. I see that there are other players signing on to offer their content to the mix..  Thats all good. the more that put more varity up the bigger the audience it will draw,  As far as Amazon goses I have no problem renting movies from Amazon, I,m not a big fan of Buying movie that sitts up in the clould on a server somewheres.  When i buy a movie, I want a real product, ie disc,ect.

as a big fan of Leo Leporte from the tech tv days and now watching his TWIT network on the computer theses days, bringing him back to tv is awesome.

He has paved the way, invented and devolped a who new model of broadcasting and creating and now getting content out thats setting new rules for everyone.
