... but wireless only is a compromised design. A standard ethernet
100bT or 1000bT port should also be provided. Not all of the users

In defense of wires

I agree with the suggestion to include wired connectivity to the TV.
Not only do wires provide easier security, but they also carry far
more data with less chance of interferrence.

As frustrating as it can be to have to run wires all over the place, I
have never been satisfied with the results of wireless speakers,
wireless iPod connection to car stereos, or 802.11g file transfers.
It Does Support Wires

"The prototype is based around a built-in digital media receiver that communicates with a primary PC. The devices communicate through wired
or 802.11a and 802.11g wireless networks."
