[QUOTE="jpics, post: 803214, member: 73733"] In case you are not familiar with time capsule, it is an airport extreme base station and 1TB hard drive that make constant hourly backups of all three Macs in my house. with this capability in mind I decided to make it do something it wasnt designed to do, stream media across my wireless network. so I plugged a second 250G hard drive to it, fired it all up and it works. now the Time Capsule acts as a wireless media center Mr. Green I can access the over 200 movies I have in it, share iPhoto and iTunes libraries, thus clearing space in my MacBook for other important stuff. but wait there is more! becuase I have Boxee and ORB I can stream this stuff over the internet to my iPhone 3G or watch it on my HDTV at home using the mini display port on my Mac (soon to be using a Apple TV ) and the Apple remote works on Boxee as well. if you have any questions about my setup fire away [/QUOTE]
