I only use the WiFi for internet access, at home. I don't think it safe or wise to bridge
my regular gigabit ethernet home network with the wireless. I do plan to add a wireless
card to my Home Theater PC, to be able to access and stream/play media files stored
in that computer's local drives, out to the WiFi equipped devices. This should give me
the separation I think is prudent, not exposing my own network to the internet, or over
WiFi.
I guess I'm too much Old School to want or need an "automatic" acquisition of any kind,
even my "automatic updates" need my permission before they can download anything.
I don't expect I'll be adding my ebook library to the media library on my HTPC. I may
end up deciding that viewing my video (mostly captured TV shows) on a mobile device
is worth it, but since we are talking use at home, why would I not use my projector or
one of the PCs on my net? If I can plan ahead, I could just load up an 8GB SD card with
more hours than the 7" or larger media player/ereaders are likely to be able to play.
Luck;
Ken
