As for streaming between machines, yep, it's awesome, but that's not the primary use case. I installed my wiring during a remodel a little ahead of the curve in the hopes that pretty but otherwise dreadful hippy tweaker heaven backwater Santa Cruz county would eventually catch up with nearby Silicon Valley. Sadly, ISP bandwidth has lagged Silicon Valley in the same way as most home values here (arguably the latter is a good thing for most but in my case it's kept me from selling and moving over the hill).
