Streamium wireless home entertainment – PC link your home entertainment system.
Philips and several other companies have taken the idea of streaming radio tuners one step further and created devices that allow you to view media content from your PC and the internet (photos, music, videos) on your TV.
The interesting thing is that these devices seem to be conforming to a standard called UPNP which I believe has to do with Zeroconf/Rendezvous.
It also looks like TiVo is going in this direction as well with their Home Media Option.
