I was going to ask about wifi on another thread (regarding running cables through the car).
I have broadband coming into my house, plugged into a cheap router. This sends wifi to my desktop some 5m away & through 2 brick walls.
I have a small black box hooked up to my telly via hdmi. This box connects to my wifi so I can stream movies from the web or, mostly, to watch my fave progs that I've had to download (since I'm too tight to subscribe to hundreds of channels). When I watch films or tv series, the feed has to come wirelessly from my PC - 5m away and through 2 brick walls.
The quality on my huge telly is excellent, especially as most of the films are in HD. Heck, I even watch some of my home movies this way, shot on my old Panasonic HDC HS300 full hd 1080p camcorder - the quality on this footage is stunning and it looks as good if I stream it or if I connect the cam directly to the telly.
So, why aren't we setting up small wifi networks in our cars?
Or, Bluetooth? My phone connects to my stereo via Bluetooth so I can hear callers through the car's speakers & talk via an external mic.
