Rivet!
Oh boy! Rivet works much better in the new apartment, since now my sessile Mac is hooked directly to the router via Ethernet (thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dictator555's wire-running machinations, from back when she lived here). It didn't work at all when I was trying to play movies more than a few megs in size over my old 802.11b connection.
But now I can torrent down entire TV series upstairs, and then immediately play them on the downstairs TV via the XBox, without having to move or change anything. I just tested it on an episode of The Sarah Connor Chronicles that I grabbed some months ago, but haven't watched because it was too much of a pain. No longer!
Also can access my whole music collection from the TV. Yeah, totally gonna buy this.
