The DVD player immediately detected my 802.11b network and I wasable to watch all of my digital movies, display my photos and listen to my digital music files the way theywere meant to be seen and heard. It can stream MPEG-4, MPEG-2 and MPEG-1 video files, MP3and WMA audio files and JPEG images from your PC; it is compatible with the Windows MediaPlayer, Music-Match and Hard Drive Scan software; it has all the features you'd expect from ahigh-end DVD player, including DVD audio, progressive scan, Dolby Digital and DTS Digitaldecoding, optical and standard video and audio output; it has 5.1 channel surround-sound output andKaraoke capability.“

New wireless DVD player from Linksys (found using query: tv stereo wi-fi progressive-scan)

  „The DVD Player with Wireless-G Media Link sits by the television and stereo and connects to them using standard composite, component A/V or S-Video cables. Then it connects to your home network by Wireless-G (802.11g) networking, or if users prefer, it can be connected via standard Ethernet cabling. The Media Link also works in peer-to-peer mode (direct connection between the media adapter and wired or wireless enabled computer) so no Internet service is required, unless Internet radio is desired.“
