    If I was spending £100+ on a media player I'd go for the Popcorn Hour. It'll play more or less anything, HD content as well.

    You could also go with a HTPC (Home Theater PC). Essentially, its a small computer with all the essentials, and a wireless connection. You can either store things on the HTPC hard drive, or set up file sharing so you can watch files saved on the other computer through a wireless network if you have one set up. However, since you're buying a computer this could be expensive (Unless you have a spare one lying around).

    i went and got the egreat m31b from here www.digitalera.co.uk one of the few places i could find in the uk that sells them.
    i did look at the popcorn hour a110 but i think i may use the esata port.
    The orginal post in this thread has a very very slim chance of being about money saving. The post is more than likely to ask a question that google could answer better than any of us.
