As shane points out, things work best if the computer is close enough for a digital connection to the receiver. If it is not, then you do need to look at other options.

This is where things become unclear for me. There are now receivers with network connections on them. What does a squeeze box deliver that a networked receiver dosn't?

In my case, my HTPC sits right next to the receiver, so I do not have to worry about how to connect the two.
