I've tried everything from a $30 FM transmitter from a chain store, to something purported to wirelessly and digitally transmit audio from any output to any input, even tried a set-top box that lets you browse your audio media collection over your in-house network, but was totally inaccessible and couldn't handle streaming. I'm even considering buying an el-cheapo netbook for the sole purpose of delivering A/V from my network-attached storage box to my stereo and television, except that now, I seem to have been jumped over by the technology because the only thing available for the interface to the stereo or TV uses an HDMI and neither my stereo nor my television supports that. Is there a device I can stream to from the PC which will send audio out to my stereo (never mind the video for now), or a device I can connect to the stereo which will allow browsing of my media storage at that end? Is a cheap netbook a good solution for this? Should I consider maybe a diskless netbook that boots something over the in-house network and gives me access that way? I can't believe in this day and age this is so hard. All suggestions welcome, except the "go soak your head" variety.
