Re: DVAClient now called "ReplaySix"

Phil, I gotta say, this is a very cool little app shaping up here.  With
SoundBridge final work and MacWorld, I wasn't able to try it until last
night, but last night I watched a recorded episode of "This Old House" in my
bedroom on the HD1000 streamed over my 100Mbit network from my Replay 5000
upstairs.  Cool, cool, cool.

I did have pretty significant lip sync issues, and the video had a somewhat
strange "jitter" to it.  I'm guessing that these fall more into Sujal's
territory than yours, but I hope both of you guys will please let us know
what you need to improve this kind of thing, and we'll try hard to provide
it.

Best,
