Can you move your MCE box closer...what is the constraint...if its net
access you may want to consider a wireless net.

entertainment center is about 50 feet apart. I want to be able to use MCE
on my home theater to watch Movies I've downloaded from Movielink, etc. and
listen to music. However, i can't figure out how to connect the two. What
is the best wireless solution? Or, should I wait until the Media Center
Extender comes out? I'd hate to do that, but is there another way?

a wireless network in my home yet but would like to add one, expecially if
it helps to solve my problem.
