Another option for using the internet for watching shows is a web site called playon.tv. Their system works like this: download and install their program on your PC, point your game console to their website, start streaming media content. Their site automatically detects when a console browser is accessing it, your console searches for a PC on your home network running their software and automatically connects to it. I tried it out recently to watch an episode of Chuck that my DVR failed to record for some reason, streaming Hulu from my main PC to my Wii. It worked really well. This obviates the need to find a sufficiently powerful spare computer to hook to your television.

"Consensus: The process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values, and policies in search of something in which no one believes, but to which no one objects; the process of avoiding the very issues that have to be solved, merely because you cannot get agreement on the way ahead." -Margaret Thatcher
