Why not? the 4308ci does it. Is there hardware involved, or could there possibly be a firmware upgrade in the future?

The 4308ci is also $1000 more expensive!
I would guess it's a hardware issue.
It wasn't a big deal for me since my PS3 & DirecTV HD-DVR will stream video.

I suppose it is a hardware issue. As to the $1000, well, once you have spent $1500 on the 3808, is it a reverse buyer's remorse syndrome that ONLY another grand would have gotten you video streaming, wireless, HD radio, and the fourth zone?

I do not have satellite service, but I have a dual-tuner HD-DVR from my cable company that I run to the receiver, and then to the TV. Do you run everything to the Denon first, then to the TV? If not, why not?

I wanted to stream movies I have on my NAS (where my music resides) to the Denon. Can you get stuff to your entertainment system that way?

Thanks

Oh I absolutely had reverse buyers remorse about not going ahead & getting the 4308ci, besides what you mentioned you get better quality amps & a second HDMI output, while I love my 3808ci if I were buying now I wouldn't hesitate to get the 4308ci!
Yes all my video & audio from the Sat box, DVD & Blu-Ray player (PS3) runs to the Denon with HDMI, I removed the speakers from my TV so all audio goes through the Denon.

I'm not sure what a NAS is but Yes I can stream all the media (pictures, music & video) from my computer to the Denon using either the Playstation 3 or the DirecTV HR20 HD-DVR.

Network Area Storage: All my files sit on a box on the network. Nothing except software is on the PCs. I use a Linksys ReadyNAS NV+. Nice investment. 1TB now, can support 64TB in sort-a RAID5 configuration.

It sends me emails when it goes on UPS power. I have TwonkyMedia on it for DLNA of music to the Denon. And it has a print server, so I have one shared printer on it. (it supports 2)

Sorry to see I am not the only one with the reverse buyer's remorse syndrome!
