I want to connect a Windows XP box to my HDTV in a separate room over a wireless net. I was wondering if I can use the Comcast box I got for HD channels and just install a wireless adapter or bridge. Is it that simple?

Really the only thing we want to do is be able to display pics on the big screen HD (wife is a photog). Is that the best way to do that or is there a better way? We're thinking about getting that new Netflix box (name??) to stream movies. Can I just use that as the bridge to the PC?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Edited to add: We use ATT DSL and not Comcast cable for broadband (if that makes any difference on the Netflix question)
