Want to play movies on your TV over Wi-fi? Got some soldering skills and don’t mind voiding the warranty of a few devices? Then do what this guy did: Flash your Netgear router with OpenWRT, hook it to a Dvico portable media player, and get streaming!

The author was quick to point out that he doesn’t use Wi-Fi to stream movies to his TV a la Apple TV, but rather uses the Wi-Fi to load the video onto the Dvico device. Personally I’ll stick to my $100 XBMC and wired Ethernet, but this is still a cool “just because I can” project.
