Ben and Rik did a bit of brain storming and we came up with the following list of stuff that we think is cool. We're not saying that you should buy it for us necessily ... but if you're ever stuck for birthday ideas for your favorite boys, then take our advice and buy something from this list.
An alternative - and this might sound a bit mercenary - send us an Amazon Gift Certificate. And we can decide what to buy...

Rik - Interesting way to get computer content onto the TV. Rather than having to set-up a mythTV box, why not just capture content on the existing PC and transfer it via this 'thumb-drive'. Yeah, there are dis-advantages: it's not quite so 'ondemand' as having a MythTV box sat ontop of the TV. But the advantage is that... well, there's no MythTV box sat ontop of the TV. I guess I need to get this configured with my Plextor ConvertX and the SnapStream 'Beyond TV'.
