Do you play Wi-Fi? While it won't be long before most home theater components are Wi-Fi-enabled, you can put your home Wi-Fi net to work right now for much more than just Web surfing. You can zap music, TV, photos and video games around the house, sans wires, thanks to a host of innovative and pioneering Wi-Fi devices.
With hot new products like Sling Media's Slingbox Pro and Sony's LocationFree TV you can send your favorite shows from room to room, or even around the world. Imagine sitting in a Wi-Fi cafe in Rome, while watching last night's episode of Grey's Anatomy. You'll never miss out again!
Wireless music players are tailor-made for moving all that digital audio you've been collecting from your computer to your stereo. It's a fact, your stereo system has a far better amplifier and speakers than any computer, so why not take advantage?
Online games are where it's at, and most new game systems are going wireless to make Internet connections easier. The popular Sony PSP and Nintendo DS portable players both have built-in Wi-Fi, and so do the red-hot Nintendo Wii and Sony PlayStation 3. But even owners of older Xboxes, PlayStations and GameCubes can get unwired. We show you how.
This spring's launch of Apple TV has brought the home media server from the realm of the geeky to the mainstream. No longer do you need to be a video or networking guru to stream video, photo and audio files from your computer to your TV screen. Other options range from full Windows Media Center PCs, to set-top boxes that can play back media files from any networked hard drive or computer.
