I have DSL cable. My modem sits in my living room.
I have just built an office in the next room over. I plan to buy an Airport extreme base station, which will allow me to run the internet on my computer in the office. Note: I want to keep the modem in the living room so my xbox can stay connected to 'Xbox LIVE'.
Now here lies the problem. I would like to be able to port my computer to my TV. How can I do this ? Can anyone help ? I know I can use Airport Express with Airfoil to pump the music over, but what about video ?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Please & Thanks,
edit: I should mention I'm ordering a new iMac with Tiger, so please ignore my sig when providing help.
Thanks,
(

Video is just another form of data. As long as you have enough bandwidth, you can send video via a network be it Ethernet or Wi-Fi. For example, I've streamed DVD in real time over Wi-Fi.
Standard definition DVD requires about 6 Mbps of bandwidth. 802.11g can handle this easily.
All you need is a receiving device that can take this data and convert it to a form displayable on television. ROKU and Elgato both offer products that can do this.
