Worst case, get yourself a Roku box (www.roku.com), and you can stream stuff from the Internet like Hulu and YouTube straight to your TV.

How are you able to get Youtube on a Roku? I've had a Roku XDS box since the Spring but I haven't seen a Youtube channel app in their selection. That's been my only negative about Roku, and in browsing the online discussion forums about this it seems to be impossible to find a straight answer as to why. I presume it's a licensing issue.

Roku needs to address this. I'm considering adding a streaming box to a TV in another room and as much as I've been pleased with everything else about the Roku product, if they don't fix this I'll be getting one of the Sony Blu-Ray WiFi players from Sam's Club instead (and I don't even use Blu-Ray).

Did you go into the channel store to add YouTube? I have an XDS and use YouTube on it all the time.

My best friend hacked his Roku box and installed some open source code.

I don’t personally have Roku, so I may be speaking out of turn. I personally built a PC in a custom modular case and installed Linux with MythTV. Windows 7 uses Windows Media Center to much the same effect, but I like the freedom of Linux.
