It's been a LONG time since i was here.

 

1st up, a request.
There is no subsection for AV Receivers in the Entertainment section... shouldn't there be one by now?

 

I have a Yamaha RXV2700 Network Receiver.
Thing is, the network functions are only for audio. I'm not sure how much video i plan to stream (from web or PC) but i would like to keep my options open before committing to only audio.

 

There are so many options these days for streaming a/v to one's Home Theatre it's nuts.

 

Apple TV is really nice...(GUI, wireless, content...) its something i have been thinking to get, but is it worth it? is there anything better for Streaming media from the web or home computer.

 

I have an older PC, and a MAC laptop... In a year or so i may get a Mac Pro, (yes, i am switching to the dark side...sorry).

 

Help, Suggestion, Ideas... would be greatly appreciated!

I have the same receiver. I admit, I've only played around with that feature a little. Oppo Digital makes some neat stuff but I don't know if I would say that it's really worth investing in something like that. I'd say it's more for people who have extra cash and don't want to help their fellow men. :D

oppo appears to only make dvd players.
I'm looking for network functionality. but thanks.

BTW, what do you mean by "don't want to help their fellow men"

I still haven't decided on what to do, and now there are more solutions out there.
my sister just got the same model RXV2700, and i have a feeling she'll be asking me what she should do too.

Again, i really like what i see with the TV, but i'm not sure i'm convinced its the best choice.

BTW, I just got an email notification that 'Kamikazi2142' posted in this thread but i see nothing.
