Hi everyone.
I have a simple question, and probably stupid too.
I have a MacBook Pro, a wifi-router and a Samsung LED-tv. I wonder if it is possible to get XBMC, as it shows on the computer with its nice skins, on the tv-screen wirelessly. Via cable it can be done, but can it be done over wifi?
Thanks

Yeah this probably can't be done over the router or anything, but I think they have "wireless hdmi" solutions now for a couple hundred bucks or so.... might be bulky and non-portable however.

Hi jd.
Exactly my position. Done some research and there are a few alternatives but they are quite expensive. Found one that was cheap, ezairwireless, but their version that I liked wasn´t compatible with Mac yet. They said that it probably would be by the end of the summer. So I will go with the wired solution for now and wait until the market settles and then go with wireless HDMI.

theoretically possibly.
i have 2 acer revo's (5'' x 5'' x 2'')
one upstairs running fedora and one downstairs running xbmc-live (hdmi to tv) -- both connected to my wi-fi router.
my plan is to get a co-ax to usb hd adapter for the one upstairs (since the digital crossover, my tv upstairs is useless). if the fedora machine is fast enough it can transcode the tv signal so that the xbmc machine can play it thru sshfs.
not very practical but mite be useful for relatively small and cheap equipment.
