Hope I get the least elegant setup award !

The Venice Project is a still a code name ,this is early stages for this product.

If you look at the UI its not hard to tell that Venice wants to be on Media Centers and Set Top Boxes .The PC and Mac clients are just launching platfoms and yes the UI needs work but that is part of the “BETA” process.

With remotes that have mouse functions and slide out querty keyboards or even T9 input, I think that TVP will be in your lounge room and not in your office soon enough .

As to Web TV elegance, when looking at low cost Web TV systems I rigged up a simple surround sound system using the (very) simple yet elegant 1970’s Hafler Principle – on which today’s Dolby et al are all based.

In fact some people reckon a Hafler circuit can (partially) decode the 5.1 surround signal via analog means.

Bit hard to describe it in full on here so I posted it up on my blog here.

Anyway, it works very well (awesomely well considering the price of setting it up), I thoroughly recommend anyone giving it a go before buying any expensive surround sound gear.

Sebastian — yeah, there’s a heck of a lot of hype. But nobody’s got this stuff perfect yet, especially if you’re looking for streaming first-run movies and TV.
