Hi,

Yeah, you need a TV display to navigate around. Yeah, thats how one of mine
is connected: video out to TV and audio out to the receiver.

I mainly just use mine for listening to music: mp3's and occassionaly
internet radio stations... Also occassionaly for data stuff over the
internet (weather, news, sports, etc)...

They can be worthwhile if you can find them cheap and don't mind tinkering
around a bit.

Just remembered a gadget I saw in a recent ad from Microcenter not too long
ago. It was a small little wireless animal that pulled MP3's over a WLAN,
had an LCD screen for control along with a remote, and could be piped out to
a stereo. That would probably be more fitting to what he wants to do.
Can't remember the price, but seemed cheap enough.

Cheers,
Eric
