<div>A box that will be used as a back and frontend (box1) and connected to my TV. My main computer (box2).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Config1: Currently there are all sorts of video on box2. I would prefer to keep them on there. Box2 also has a wireless router (Linksys WRT54G v5) attached to it. I am thinking of getting a wireless card for box1 and setting it up to be able to access Box1 through the router. Is this possible? A problem that I envisage will hinder me here is that I still switch quite frequwntly between linux and XP on box2.
</div>

<div>Config2: What I suspect is the easier configuration method is to have the videos on box2. This box will (most likely) be a SUSE box. Then if I want to access the videos from box2, I then will have to setup network access from box2 whether I am in Linux or XP.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Now even if one of these setups is possible, will it be a case of streaming or actually having to download the videos to the box that is wanting to stream? If streaming, will it be noticeable on the streaming box? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Which also leads to this question: If I add another PC to one of my other TVs (box3) onto the same wireless router network, when I want to watch a recording on box3, will it stream without jerkiness? Would box3 require me to run a slave backend? What would the minimum specs one should look for in a box3 type setup.
