Streaming from a streamer to another streamer

Bit of a newby on this one I'm afraid and just weighing up a possible system for both audio and video streaming. Is it possible to stream from say PopcornA110 with HD ( using as a NAS and to be placed by the TV ) to an audi streamer ( say Phillips N1100) next to the HiFi , or is it best to have a dediciated NAS with just video streamer with no HD and audio streamer in the different rooms.

Re: Streaming from a streamer to another streamer

It's doable. The Squeezebox Touch is player which also makes an externally connected USB disk visible as a network share (a.k.a NAS) and you can stream video from the disk.

Sonos will stream music from any DLNA compliant NAS
Squeezebox needs to see a Squeezebox Server running on the NAS, AFAIK Squeezebox Server isn't available on Popcorn Hour
IIRC Apple Airport Express will stream off Apple TV

Thanks - Interesting about the squeezebox and the usb drive. Unfortunately in my current configuration, I have ethernet to the location of the TV but only wifi to the audio locations, hence the thought of having the storage at the TV location.
