Just to make sure, have you heard of Slingmedia's Slingcatcher? It's a wireless receiver that can hook up to legacy TVs for video/audio playback. I'd actually be a bit surprised if you haven't, with all the fanfare.

From: http://www.i4u.com/article7580.htmlI’ve never used a SlingBox in part because I’ve never wanted to get things off my TV, I want to get things on my TV. The new SlingCatcher does exactly that, it moves content from your PC to your television.
From: http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/ptech/01/1 ... index.htmlThe SlingCatcher brings Slingbox TV programing onto the TV - YES, I want that!
The SlingCatcher also has the ability to download or stream content directly from the Internet and display it on a TV without the need for a PC to serve that content.
Official Press Release:The irony is that one of the coolest demonstrations was from Sling Media, a company known for delivering the opposite -- streaming television to your computer.
The SlingCatcher can best be described as a reverse Slingbox; instead of tapping into your local TV with your Internet-connected laptop or smartphone, the SlingCatcher is designed to deliver Web and PC video or audio to a television located in the home or to remote locations via the Internet.
