I have an iMac with wireless capabilities and have a new Samsung Blu-Ray player that has the ability to connect to a wireless network. Is it possible to use my Mac to relay movies off Netflix to the Blu-Ray player or do I need a separate router to do this?

I'm guessing here..... but I would think you need an Apple TV to do that. Maybe someone else who's smarter on stuff like that then I am can give you a better answer.

I'm no smarter than chscag, but I'm pretty sure you need an Apple TV. I thought this would work too, but the wireless on your Samsung will connect to your network, but not to your Mac. At least that was my experience when I tried something similar. Be interested to see the answers from those brilliant and experienced folks that hang out here.
