I wish I could do that - I've got a 1080p TV, but I use the WiFi. About XMBC - does it have a way to rent movies? Every now and then when I check out these solutions I can't seem to find information on doing that. Ooo, I hadn’t heard of the Crystal HD trick.

I put a crystal HD card in mine and it will play back full 1080p now. The AppleTV is much better if you put XBMC on it. I put a crystal HD card in mine and it will play back full 1080p now.

I agree it's up to PASS..in a way. These events happen because someone local decides to do it. Sometimes they need a lot of help, sometimes they just do it themselves, but as long as the web site works and they get some good initial documentation, it's up to them to do it or not do it - and we've had few failures. It's also dramatically easier the second time a leader does an event, and that helps us maintain momentum. There are things that PASS needs to do, and I have high hopes that it will get done, or I wouldn't have taken the risk. I hope to accomplish a quick handover of the technology, but I plan to stay involved for a while on the coaching and evangelism side. It'll be interesting to see!
