I’m considering getting something that will bring more media from our computers to our TV. There are a couple obvious choices (Apple TV
, TiVo Premiere
, etc), but I’m looking for suggestions.
We already have an Xbox 360
attached to the TV, but I’m not particularly interested in getting deeply into the Zune Marketplace. If the Xbox can be a contributor to the overall system that’s fine, but at the moment it’s really just doing duty as a DVD player and game console. We also have a TiVo, so our DVR functions are handled, and either device handles Netflix streaming.
The features I’m most interested in are pulling down tvrss.net feeds and possibly streaming videos and music from our iTunes libraries. I’m currently leaning towards picking up an Iomega iConnect
, if that will fill the voids in our current solution. I just don’t know how it integrates with the Xbox and if it will be possible to share out our iTunes libraries from Time Machine backups.
Let me know if you have any insight or suggestions into possible solutions that will meet our needs.

Have you considered Rivet? I’ve been using it to stream the iTunes library from my MacBook Pro upstairs to my XBox 360. I’ve looked at a few of my photo libraries with it, but haven’t tried streaming movies (which they say it will do). Here’s the link: http://thelittleappfactory.com/rivet/
