Thanks for the tips. I looked them over and decided that it may not be what I really need. Maybe my post was not specific enough; I watched a video from Microsoft on how to stream Windows Media Player to a tv via an xbox; which is more along the lines of what I would like to do rather than create a video library, I would like to be able to stream video from the WMP, Comcast Xfinity, etc. There is quite a bit of prerecorded video like that avaialable. I know I can just hookup a vga cable or another hardline, I want to stream what is on my comuter screen to the tv via Roku. njdc
