Re: Best HD media streamer
I guess part of it depends on how much you want to spend.
I'm curerntly testing out a Popcorn Hour A-200 which has been firmware hacked to a C-200, as the hardware is 95% the same. For the most part it's playing nicely from the internal HDD, as well as USB and over the nework. But at approx £170 without the HDD it's maybe more than you want to pay.

I use a wdtv live. Seems to play all manner of formats, can be linked to media servers and has a very active modding community.
The standard interface is quick and simple.

Went with the A C Ryan Play On HD Mini when Scan had it on a 'today only' offer.
Only used it a few times since but happy with it so far except that it loses the wireless setup when the firmware is updated.
