I'm with Messiah on this one. For the very specific tasks that you have asked for, only a PC or Mac would do everything you ask for out of the box without any major tweaking. The PS3 is a great idea but, as has already been pointed out, requires a PC on the network to be on as well. It...

I've been very happy with my ReadyNAS Duo with 1.5TB of redundant storage. Has been great from day one with minimal setting up but a lot of flexibility. Netgear forums are a great resource for information and tech support from other users and Netgear themselves. My only problem now is that I...

Yes; This is the way to go about transferring your itunes library to a new location. As for Sonos, I can't comment as I don't have one.

I presume that you mean you hve upgraded to iTunes 10 which changes the look of iTunes significantly, including changing the application icon. There are various tools around hich allow you to change the look to be much more like previous versions of iTunes. One of the ones I tried was this one...

As JD said, a lot going on here regarding requirements and future flexibility. If you're still at a first fix stage, can you run CAT5 cable to all the relevant points? This will allow much flexibility in the future as well as reducing the need to rely on wifi and all the potential problems...

I'm not sure but I don't think you can connect to the Stora through the USB port; I believe it's for further storage only (and perhaps a printer if it does print serving. You'd need to connect the stora and your WD Live to the Switch over ethernet. If you want large, redundant USB storage, you...

Forgive me if I'm stating the obvious but have you actually mapped the NAS to a drive letter in Explorer? If you don't map it, then iTunes won't be able to see it. It will then appear in Explorer and Windows will just see it as another drive rather than any sort of server. You can set the...

Andrew Everard:Except usually data is transmitted inside a CD player using a superior method to that employed between a digital source and an external DAC... Unless you have time / money / expertise to modify an old Squeezebox to tap the I2S signal and build a DAC to take that signal. But who...

Another endorsement for the Harmony One here; One of my best purchases.

I previously used iPlayer over Freesat but found that the interface works better on my Sony S370 Blu Ray Player. Bit rates should be the same, so I suspect that the Sony is perhaps a better upscaler than the Freesat box (Humax HDR). Best thing I watched recently was the Creation of Coronation...

I feel like I'm becoming a representative for Xtreamer on this forum but I really have no connection to the company and I'm not banging the drum for it as the all out best media player, just pointing it out as many people here don't seem to be aware of it's existence. That said, an alternative...

As JD says, any of those drives should do the job but something to be aware if you have large video files is that the PS3 and Xbox can only read FAT32 formatted drives which doesn't support files over 4Gb in size in which case, you might want to look at either a NAS which supports UPNP or using...

Both Xtreamers can act as NAS so you could access the files. Whether you could access them with a PS3, I'm not sure. With regard to HD audio, I think you may be a little confued. The Xtreamer does output HD audio bitstreams over HDMI as you state. If you access a file over the network, then...

I don't have any BD rips so I can't say how well they work. However, given that Blu Ray's maximum bit rate is 40Mbps, I really don't think there would be a problem over ethernet, even if it were over a 100Mb connection. As for Dolby True HD and DTS Master Audio for full rips; I know of two...

scene:Thanks for all the extra info! I'm doing my copy now... I'm also moving some large .ISO files over as well, so this doesn't look like completing any time soon... I'm actually going to check, as I have a sneaky feeling that I ma have turned on the AFP thing when wading through the...
