I've been using Air Video too and I think it is fantastic - I use it to 
watch recorded programs over 3G and it works really well.

I do find it a pain that I have to run the Air Video Server in a Windows 
Virtual machine, so I would love to ty out the Beta version of the linux 
server - where can I get it?

Regards,
Dave.
