[ubuntu-uk] TV connected to ubuntu pc via ethernet

[Joseph Hughes]

Sorry to stick my oar in without an introduction, by the way. Hello!

I've used one of these http://www.ebuyer.com/product/167153 with the latest
beta of XBMC live, plugged into a Samsung LCD with HDMI. It's fantastic, and
thanks to the Nvidia ION GPU is more than capable of playing back 1080p HD
stuff.

It's also near silent as well, which for me is necessary for a PC in the
lounge.
