MAC VIDEO & SOUND iTunes releases rental videos... ohh my

[Aluminum]

I have…

A iMac and the “Tv Kit”

Ohh my!

A friend of mine, whom is in the “Mac world”, wants to:

1) View the iTunes interface on his Sony Flat Screen (2 years old many inputs).
2) Listen to the iTunes sound via the Harmon and Kardon receiver (3 years old many inputs)

The idea:

…to run the application from the room next to the office. Basically, the Internet connection runs into the house from the wall in the office. Most of the web surfing is done there. However, the nice sound system and T.V. reside in the living room. I am guessing the TV and Receiver are about 30 feet from the hardwired cable modem.

Should we

A) Hardwire some sort of LAN or
B) Set up a Wifi

I also have a netgear 802.11G wireless router available. Not sure if this helps. What configuration should be done here… any type of firewalls, wlan, bla bla help

I am sure this has been done in the Apple world,

Please advise,

Aluminum

P.S.
Be nice I have bragged about this forum in public LOL

Not sure I quite get what you are trying to do but this might help

Or you could get hold of an Apple TV box which will stream content FROM your iTunes on your Mac and output it to whatever audio/video (HDMI only I think) kit you plug into it. It will work wirelessly or wired AFAIK.
