Any experience with the Barix exstreamer?All of the devices I've looked at restrict stream type or use fee type internet radio servers like Rhapsody etc. The new Onkyo uses Net-tune.Any ideas or experience ?Thanks :-\

Thanks, the Slimp3 only supports mp3 files but I hadn't seen the roku unit. Their faqs are a bit unclear about how they will handle radio streams but it looks encouraging. :)

There is another one, ShowCenter from Pinnacle. The device is hooked up to a television via S-VHS or SCART and imports all data - video, audio and photos from a PC. Data transfer occurs via either 100 Mbit/s Ethernet or WLAN. Today it only supports wireless-b. This is to slow for videos, so I use it over wireless-g bridge.
