    Ok so i plan on setting up a WHS box with Playon streaming media to my xbox 360. My question is whats the easiest way to get it to the other tv in the bedroom?

    Should i just get a wireless media extender like linksys or WD one? What ones are recommended? Would i be able to access all the stuff? fFles on hdd and streams from hulu/netflix/youtube???

    Is there a way to do this without having to purchas a media extender? Maying using something i already have?

    FYI- The two TV's are the living room and bedroom, and are sharing the same wall so i could drill a hole and run a cable to the other side. (they are litterally in the same spot on opposite sides of the wall).

    I'd like to dump everything on a the WHS and stream to 2 TV's.... whats the easiest way?

    Thanks.

    The only way I see you being able to do this is to either manually switch something every time you want to switch to a different TV (ie, the HDMI cable from the Xbox), or getting another media extender.

    You may be able to use another computer as a media extender, though. So you could just hook up the laptop in the bedroom every time you want to stream there. Of course that would be manually changing something each time. If you want to always have streaming in both rooms, either a desktop PC as a media extender, connected via Wifi, or another expensive media extender.
