Well you can always imagine a squeezebox 3 with an hdmi output, which would act exactly like a SB3 when you play music, and be able to send video through hdmi (and display menus and stuff on the TV) when you want to watch a movie. it would just need another item in the menu, something like "my movies" right next to "my music". -- BlueScreenJunky ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlueScreenJunky's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22725 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74510 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
