I wanted a way to watch Hulu on the TV, but I wanted it to be as complicated as possible. I also wanted to not use the over priced and under-performing wireless adapter for the 360.<\/p>\n

\"This<\/a><\/p>\n

This wireless adapter costs $100, and for that – it works. Barely. I could barely watch any of the streaming videos on”Inside Xbox” and I had more lag than I should have when playing online. I wanted to somehow use a better adapter for my xbox.<\/p>\n

\"Rachel's<\/a><\/p>\n

Rachel’s TV has lots of awesome inputs, one of them is a VGA input – which means I can plug a standard computer into it. I remembered that we had this port after a while of us longing to watch hulu on the big screen.<\/p>\n

\"Standard<\/a><\/p>\n

Rachel also had an extra computer, that was just sitting around. It’s nice because it’s decently fast, but doesn’t have too much memory. That’s a plus because it can go into hibernate mode really quickly. That makes it just as convenient as other Home Theater equipment to use!<\/p>\n

\"DD-WRT'd\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had a WRT54G router that I could put the famous DDWRT firmware on. With this firmware, one of the basic features is the ability to turn the wireless capability into a receiver instead of a transmitter. It then sends the signal out from the ports on the back. Perfect for getting hulu to the computer and for getting Inside Xbox to my Xbox.<\/p>\n

\"Taking<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course I still needed a router, so we bought this cheap netgear router. It works great!<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is the computer displaying on the TV!<\/p>\n

\"Full<\/a><\/p>\n

and full screen 480p Hulu video!<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s where I hid the big computer. It’s nice because the mouse is always there, and we don’t have to have a computer cluttering the place up. We have other things for that.<\/p>\n

\"the<\/a><\/p>\n

All nice and hidden. You can see the router behind the speaker. Everything works how I wanted. It’s a little over complicated, but given the equipment I had and the results I wanted I think it’s the most cost effective, and it was fun to put together!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
