Several large electronics manufacturers claim to be working on ways of sending HDTV signals wirelessly from components to televisions. This technology seems like it would be fit well with AppleTV or even computer displays. Any thoughts or rumors about Apple using any of this technology?

Here is an article about some stuff being shown at CES:

Well, would be good to work up from normal tv, then get the lower definition HD sorted first. There's a lot of convergence anyhow between streaming data for speakers, networked macs and monitors and or tv's. In need of a faster bandwidth standard? Then you could have wireless monitors for macs, and other more useful/fun possibilities.

I think its a great idea. I would definately purchase a wireless display that works with laptops. 😀

Well it's already possible to link a scart device to a TV wirelessly and I used the same device to connect a PC to a Data Projector using S-Video some time back for my church, so making a similar product for HD would seem a logical step.

I wonder what kind of lag you'll get...
