Agreed, but then it would cost a lot more.

Also, there are lots of cheap solutions to do this for low quality video but sending 480p for 'equivalent to DVD clarity' over wireless is tough to get right. Higher HD formats over wireless is a bigger challenge.

Wired is another matter but you could probably go 50' directly from your PC over HDMI (I think) anyways without adding another box.

Still, it will be nice someday when a cheap solution is at hand.

With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.
