My dad downloads from iTunes. We have every episode of Monk, and several movie. He downloads the videos onto his Tablet PC, so it's great to watch the shows during long car trips, or if I'm by myself. Things get a bit tricky, though, when we want to watch a movie together, and all we have is a Tablet PC to watch them from. One solution was to hook the Tablet PC to another monitor. This worked well, but Apple has finally made it easy to watch your videos from iTunes on your television.

Apple has come out with a 2.4 lb Apple TV. It syncs wirelessly with your computer, and then it takes a few wires to hook it up to your television screen. For $299, the Apple TV holds 40 GB of movies, TV shows, and music. It comes with a very small remote, and a power cord.
The Apple TV requires that you are using a Mac or a PC, and iTunes 7.1. For those of you using Vista, read this before downloading the new iTunes version 7.1.1. It may save you from a bit of trouble later on.
