I'd like to be able to stream content to my TV.. easy ... BUT what I would like to have access to are things like 4OD or the iplayer, plus also maybe streams from ustream or bitgravity.
Anybody aware of such a device that could do such a thing - e.g. could a tiscali TV box (without the subscription) do this.
I'd prefer it not to be a pc.

I understand some Freesat, PS3 and maybe xbox boxes now do iplayer.
Fetch TV has a working but unauthorised iplayer!
The US seems to have options such as roku or popcorn players but they seem to have dedicated services running off them.
I wonder if there's any such thing in the uk - I guess that even a wi fi "browser box" that would plug into a scart tv that could play flash would even do the trick.
Fetch TV uses moded Netgem boxes, but is more expensive, except for the 7000 model (£130!) which does not have wifi or a fully supported iplayer!

Notice the Ruku Soundbridge is now sold in the UK, so hopefully the new low cost video player will be on sale here sometime maybe with BBC iplayer!
