It's complicated. Right now, I have a Boxee Box that's hooked up to my TV, which connects to two external hard drives through my iMac on LAN. My plan this week is to move those two external hard drives into a desktop, along with 2 x 4TB drives, and have that desktop connected to my TV instead of the Boxee Box. I'm currently in the process of ripping my entire movie collection (Blu-Rays are done; DVDs are next) so that I won't have to fiddle with disks any longer. MakeMKV is free while in beta, and I downloaded the trial of AnyDVD while I'm doing this: a single Blu-Ray takes around 10-15 minutes to rip, and some DVDs (absurdly) as long. Netflix also, of course, both on my Boxee/future desktop rig and on the kids' Wii.
