Can I plav a DVD or send audio from my laptop to my TV or Stereo? Additonally, can the Airport Express in my PB15 stream iTunes audio (from my G5) to a stereo?

If not, is there a third party box that would allow for these two hookups?

ideally that answer would be a future hardware solution sold by Apple that would be an Airport Express with A/V outs, a remote and the Front Row GUI.

Thanks

To play DVDs or music through your TV and stereo, you just need to hook up the appropriate cables (s-video, A/V through s-video adaptor, headphone jack to A/V cable).

Your PB has an Airport Extreme card, not Airport Express. I'm guessing you mean stream from your G5 through your PB to a stereo. I guess you could do that if you turn on iTunes music sharing so you can use the PB to listen to songs on the G5. But why not just get an Airport Express to do this and leave the PB out of the equation? Or put the songs on the PB and attach it directly to the stereo.

You're basically talking about a video Airport Express box. I think there are already home media boxes that can do this. Don't know any off hand. Try Google.
