I've looked at wifi dongles for my tv and other similar devices,

not sure if what I buy would do the job.

There are quite a few WiFi enabled speakers about... have a look at
the
Sonos range for example.

Yes but I'm not sure they will work for this application. I think the
problem will be that TV (presumably that has the USB port for the
dongle) won't have any means of streaming live audio out over the
WiFi or serving files. TV's tend to be "clients" not "servers".

Indeed - it does depend a bit on your source of music. If its coming
off
a home server / nas / dlna box etc, then the speakers will may be able
to get it directly.

And only out by 3-6 seconds


I am trying to work out who is the most ignorant - you or the OP.


Compared to you, neither apparently.

If the OP already has the source material available on some form of
central storage, then many of the digital streaming / distribution
systems will be able to stream directly from it.


With as I pointed out a completely diferrent arbitrary delay compared
top the picture.


A picture on a TV in another room where you can't see it?

Yup I can see that will be a *real* problem...

I think you are SO stupid you haven't even cottoned on to the real
problem yet.


Are you depriving a village of an idiot somewhere?
