This is app is ridiculous... it will transcode video on your computer's hard drive, straight through to your hi-def via PS3. I even use wireless, so no cords. Totally free and when you've got x264 rips, it's totally sick.

how do you use it? I assum download it to your computer then run your PS3. Will the PS3 pick it up? Can you do Hulu with it?

Wow, sorry I just got back to this question after a year.

Anyway, you just open PS3Media server on your computer and turn on your PS3. The PS3 will detect the app automatically (assuming you've got the network connection set up correctly in the PS3's settings).

Go to "Video" and you'll see the PMS application- it basically reads all the video files directly from your computer's hard drive (you can tell the app where to look on the computer if you've got your movies under one root folder).

Can't comment specifically on how to get content... just google "usenet" and "11/month astraweb special." Trust me, you'll save tons of money in the long run and your movies/tv shows/apps are boundless... not to mention safe behind ssl.
