McTiVia networked streamer slinging PC content to TV screens this May

It's not exactly a minty fresh concept, but if you're bored with networked media streamers slinging content and content alone, Awind's McTiVia might just be the nugget of unconventional that you've been after. For all intents and purposes, this is a souped-up wireless router that pipes all content from your Mac or PC onto your HDMI-equipped HDTV. The goal? To create cord-free HDTVs, in a sense. It's capable of controlling up to eight computers via mouse or keyboard, and it also doubles as a WiFi access point for those needing to usher themselves into the modern century. She's expected to hit retail in late May for $199, and we'll be doing our darnedest to test one out as soon as shipments begin.
