I'm about to buy this yoke
I think it has everything I need.
It does not have built-in Wi-fi though. Should that be as simple as sticking a wire in the back?
I'm tempted to pay the extra to have installed, but I find that very emasculating
My basic question is whether this model is missing any significant features. It seems right enough though.
I just want to be able to torrent movies on my computer and transfer them (don't care how) and use stuff like Netflix.
Help me, Thumped.
