Video source ethernet connectivity

How many of us have seen the Cat5e Ethernet (RJ45) plug on the back of their AV equipment? This includes televisions, Blu-Ray players, satellite receivers, and some AV receivers. How many of us have taken the time to connect our equipment to our home network? If you have not done this yet YOU ARE MISSING OUT on many added features available to you from your new high tech equipment! There are many uses including any of the following: downloading IP based movies, streaming content from your PC (NAS), web browsing, instant weather, BD Live, RSS feeds to your TV screen, etc... It is the simplest yet the most overlooked enhancement you can do for your home entertainment center. Sure, at first I did not hook up mine upon first seeing the availability, but I will never overlook this simple, value add connection again. It is added to all of our installations no matter how small the job.
