Sorry, Steve, that was a typo. I meant "streams to your TV". I have a 
Western Digital media streamer. Box about the size of a pack of playing 
cards with a network connection on one end, a couple of USB ports, and an 
HDMI output. Just plug it in to the network and the TV, and you're away. 
Works superbly well.
