dear stringfellow,

about lost season 5 pass, BUY IT. in HD. i don't know why, but somehow i think lost HD is the best looking HD tv show offered. i've bought all season of battlestar galactica in HD, and somehow it didn't look as nice. so in conclusion, you'll not regret the purchase.

i'm totally having the same problem as you in regards to managing video contents, especially those bought from the itunes store. i believe i'm too are nearing the usd1000 mark of itunes purchases. i thought of buying an apple tv, but decided against it cause the functionality vs price ratio just didn't warrant a worthy purchase to me, and i have a love-hate relationship with the idea of wireless streaming my itunes library; doesn't seem very energy efficient to have both the comp & the lcd tv + apple tv on. since i've yet to have my own home, my network of media devices are constricted to my own bedroom (ie everything is just a few feet from each other) thus the need of a centralized nas device seem irrelevant, in my case.

nevertheless, one day i'm sure i'll be looking for a similar solution (albeit not with multiple apple tvs), so this is a great starting point. good luck in your highly ambitious endeavour

ETA: sorry, i must've missed some part. u've already bought lost season 5 pass, my mistake. though, huzzahhh
