Hi looking for a 'smart' device that I can get access to Demand 5, 4od, BBC Iplayer, You Tube and the BBC Sport App (so I can watch 2 tables at the snooker!). Is there a device which does this? Now TV doesn't seem to have all these apps, neither does Apple TV, any suggestions?

The now TV box has these plus ITV player for 9.99.
If you want Netflix or Amazon prime then a Roku is a better option.
Roku doesn't have Amazon Prime in the UK.
(Just ordered one!)
Thats so wierd. I'm sure it used too?
Yes.
Amazon Fire TV isn't going to have 4OD or BBC Iplayer on it when it launches which the OP wants.
You can sideload XBMC onto it and you'll get Iplayer through that but still no 4OD
For the OP's quoted needs a £9:99 Now TV box seems the best option
Still the premium version, but you can get quite a lot of your music through the YouTube app.

Failing that, something that that will run a browser. Personally I just could not deal with the nonsense of which device will run what app and which device is still getting firmware updates.

A HTPC. Easily the best solution I would say. Xbmc, playon, netflix blah blah- the content never ends. Apple TV airplay is great too
Thanks for your advice akki007 but i should have said before that it needs to be family friendly.
The NowTV box is £9.99 though
