Right now I have a Samsung 42" Plasma which I love. I'm playing video via a Xbox 360 with HD-DVD player and a HD cable box DVR.

BTW, lately I've been ripping my DVD collection to MP4 files onto my Apple Powermac G5 then streaming them out to my Xbox 360. Unfortunately I lose Dolby Digital 5.1. but the video looks great!

Nice! I take it you're running Parallels or something similar on your Mac? I've considered trying the same but just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Works very well. I just started using it a few weeks ago. It does support AVI's with a AC3 pass through but it does not stream them very well. Maybe the next Xbox update will fix this.

Definitely looking at the Apple TV update. It's going to support an AC3 pass through as well. In what formats though is the key. Only time will tell,

I, too, am looking at the new Apple TV, started a thread about it, and am very interesting to see how the video rental feature plays out, especially since it'll offer HD. So Josh, once you buy it, be sure to give me a detailed breakdown of it explaining why I need it over the nullriver program.
