	this was more comment about Visual Hub than anything.. I can get  
there using other means.

	YouTube?  Why?  It's crappy quality even on the computer.


	I tried the AppleTV last night... the downloaded shows from the  
store were very good actually (recent downloads).  the music was  
easily handled.  There is NO need to sync if you want to just stream  
(and in a family of 5, that means we already have a single 'media  
server' directory that everyone just mounts - it's a crappy solution  
mind you). Apple trailers looked great.

	I'm still leaning towards a single 400 DVD player that outputs  
upconverted HDMI and Component and then using a Balun to move the  
second signal to the living room set.

	I hate the way my life is segmented as it is.  It's frustrating as  
hell.. it isn't just a convenience situation like it is with most  
people (yes, I know this is going to more than Kevin.. I don't care... )
