I'm somewhat curious to know if this could possibly be a Raspberry Pi-ish solution?

Because that hardware uses an ARM processor and has 512 MB RAM just like the Raspberry Pi model B. Also, I think the Pi is able to achieve the same thing already - Just connect your Pi to the TV (which can have a HDMI/Video In/DVI) and stream what you want from your PC. It would be interesting to see if the software they provide would run on my Pi out of the box. If it does, then I think I can somehow integrate the Pi into my 3 year old Bravio without any fuss and enjoy wireless streaming with the software these guys provide. All in all, a very good effort guys :)




We have been testing with the Pis so it's definitely working!

In fact, we will be providing images for raspberrys (based on the raspbian distro)


Thank's for the clarification! :)


i know nothing about pi's except that they are cheap- how do you send raspberry pi the content from your computer?


The raspberry Pi has a Wireless module that you can attach to it, through the Pi's USB port. The wireless chip is only like $4-9 in price. After attaching the wireless module, you can connect the Pi to your TV through HDMI/Video Out (the Pi has two vide output options). Assuming your computer is in a different room, you can connect to it directly and stream Video content to your TV. I also think there's some specialized software that will help you stream videos out of the box.. Cheers!
