This response is not in line with the audio nature of this forum but it is a important announcement for those of you that are not aware of breaking tech news and a growing evil trend. Wireless networks are not secure or at least that was the breaking news at the last wireless convention. Even the latest in wireless security WPA2 is now hackable with the right software and I have seen commercial directional antenna for sale guaranteed to pick up the output wattage of a standard wireless router from a mile away. Only a person that is ignorant or has nothing to lose would have a wireless network. A hacker can dial in to your network and steal your identity and anything else they want then move on to the next mark. They will steal all your saved passwords before they go. They can even plant a keylogger and a botnet in your computer just in case you do not have your credit card info on your computer. But you can be the talk of the town cause you control the music playing on your computer from a cell phone.
Yeah, that..Having said that,there are other free methods to stream audio wired or wireless to networked device(s)..I use PS3 mediaplayer to stream from PC to the PS3-> optical-> to Audio receiver ...Works for me.
I just wanted to get the word out. The industry is doing its best to keep this under wraps for the obvious reason. You shouldn't buy or use a wireless network. The hackers are breaking new security faster and faster. This last measure may only have been secure for 6 months it will probably not be filled for a year. The trend is you will be secure less than half the time if you keep current. The hackers are winning this race hands down! The wost part is if the hacker is slick, you will never know you were hacked. My hacker must have been a kid. He was just stealing band width and too stupid to use it with discretion. I has having real problems with a hacker. It wasn't till another hacker told me 'forget about it' there isn't anything I can do that I got an inkling. I always take that kind of info with a handful of salt but as he predicted, the hacker broke in despite everything being maxed out (impossible to crack). This weekend I saw a blurb in a tech mag stating wireless security wasn't what it had been as stated in xx conference. I tracked down the conference notes and found mention of a new found security hole. I tracked down an article about the security hole and that pulled no punches. I had been in touch with several in-the-know network techs and no one knew about the security hole.
