Get a large hard drive, eg. a Western Digital 250 GB for $100. Put it
in a Kingwin KF-23 removable bay. Get an NEC 3550 burner and rip the
DVDs. Leave them on HD as VOBs or convert them to XviD/AVI to save
space.

You can compress the VOBs with DVD Shrink and save disk space. It all
depends on the size of your TV. If it's 19" then you can compress 50%
and not see any difference. Or you can convert to AVIs that are 350 MB
per 45 minute episode. That's what many downloads are.

Get a GoVideo D2730 player that has hardwire network capability
(Conventional WiFi may be too slow). Play from your computer HD to the
TV over the network. Or you can use the latest X-Box, so I am told.

In Hillary Clinton's new book "Living History," Hillary details what
it was like meeting Bill Clinton, falling in love with him, getting
married, and living a passionate, wonderful life as husband and wife.
Then on page two, the trouble starts.
