Wireless PC->TV

Anyone have any recommendations for wireless PC to TV connectivity? The highest the quality the better.

Thanks!

I believe the Slingplayer portion of that website will do that.

Sling Media as of now has no PC-> TV functionality (they have a "coming soon" solution but no mention as to when (SlingCatcher). I want the functionality now.

Found this (2 links for same product)

Cautions against usage in places where there are existing wireless networks in use. 2nd link has some (mixed) customer reviews.

I think one of the new Sling products coming out will accomplish this. SlingSolo perhaps?

It's called SlingCatcher but there's no ETA on it.

Will this broadcast the screen exactly as it is on the PC? I'm not just looking for pictures/videos/music/etc, but for screen replication. I have a 360 so I'd be interested if it's possible!

I'm not talking about the 360 media center. I'm talking about regular xbox media center. No, it doest show excatly whats on your PC. You control everything from the xbox itself.

Well, I had a few VGA->Composite adapters, so I bought 3 of these:

$185 for all three includes 5-year warranty.
