It's been a LONG time since i was here.

1st up, a request.
There is no subsection for AV Receivers in the Entertainment section... shouldn't there be one by now?

I have a Yamaha RXV2700 Network Receiver.
Thing is, the network functions are only for audio. I'm not sure how much video i plan to stream (from web or PC) but i would like to keep my options open before committing to only audio.

There are so many options these days for streaming a/v to one's Home Theatre it's nuts.

Apple TV is really nice...(GUI, wireless, content...) its something i have been thinking to get, but is it worth it? is there anything better for Streaming media from the web or home computer.

I have an older PC, and a MAC laptop... In a year or so i may get a Mac Pro, (yes, i am switching to the dark side...sorry).

Help, Suggestion, Ideas... would be greatly appreciated!

I have the same receiver. I admit, I've only played around with that feature a little. Oppo Digital makes some neat stuff but I don't know if I would say that it's really worth investing in something like that. I'd say it's more for people who have extra cash and don't want to help their fellow men.

oppo appears to only make dvd players.
I'm looking for network functionality. but thanks.

BTW, what do you mean by "don't want to help their fellow men"

I still haven't decided on what to do, and now there are more solutions out there.
my sister just got the same model RXV2700, and i have a feeling she'll be asking me what she should do too.

Again, i really like what i see with the TV, but i'm not sure i'm convinced its the best choice.

BTW, I just got an email notification that 'Kamikazi2142' posted in this thread but i see nothing.
