But, since I'm not "into" home entertainment centers at this point, I'd appreciate it if someone would tell me just how you would integrate it with your system and what you would do with it... for example, stream HD videos on it, or from it to your HD flat panel display?

Although a real proper remote is worth its weight in gold compared to the cute but kind of a pain to use apple remote.
