I used to run my setup over a Draft-N network and I have "streamed" (ie. played back across the network) 1080P x264 MKV files with no problems at all. In fact, mine worked fine even when "only" connected at around 160Mbps. Can't say with any certainty about the TV recordings as my TV card is in my MP machine, but I can't see them...

if your tablet pc has tilt sensors or you are able to attach some it shouldnt be hard to get the your desktop to rotate. i assume that you need a plug in for mp in order to work properly. i think mp uses dx which would adjust the resolution etc seperately from the desktop. so if the desktop just turs there is a good chance that mp...

For Blu-ray you would need to check the specs on the drive you are looking at to make sure your PC could handle the load. As for the system, it looks good to me, but then again that all depends on what extras you will be looking at running with it (burn DVD's, surf the WWW, etc...).
Cheers!
