I have been trying to find a cheap method of serving media to my 
televisions.

Here is my current setup: I have a PC running TVErsity (under Windows) and 
another running MediaTomb (under KUbuntu) which stream media quite 
delightfully to my PlayStation 3 and my dumb television.

I have three other rooms which could use a TV in them and I'd like to use a 
projects board to create a client which can do the same thing.  A PS3 uses 
a lot of power - way more than Beagle Board or RPi.

All I can seem to find are ways to turn a Beagle Board into a DNLA 
+server_  - I want a client.  I am familiar with Ubuntu but I can use 
Debian if need be.  I am an expert with PLCs and .Net but have no 
experience whatsoever with Beagle Boards.

I need a starting point.  I'd like to start with a full system and then 
experiment at will.  Oh, and I really know very little about DLNA itself so 
I'd like to start with a working solution and then break it enough to 
understand what I'm doing.

Yeah, I'd also need to include Wi-Fi at some point (don't ask for much, do 
I?)

How hard would it be to add in a programmable remote?

Full web access later might be nice, but streaming from my server is the 
most important bit.

And in a totally unrelated bit: does anyone know of spaceship models (Star 
Wars prefferred) that will fit a Beagle Board well?  This is only the first 
of several projects I want to try.
