Media Box/Player for TV

Hiya,

I upgraded my TV in Jan 2009 and I do like the idea of attaching a media player, or a media box so I can browse the internet via a HDMI cable.

I don't want to upgrade my TV again as I do like it and I know the latest TVs have this already built in.

I've had a look at media players or media boxes on the web but a little confused with things. What I would like to do is browse the internet, use iPlayer, 4OD, flash based sites like YouTube and other streaming content.

Any advice on what the ideal product should be?

Thanks!

If you want full unfettered access to the internet then forget about these crippled offerings, pay a bit more and get a nettop computer such as:-

Hey guys,

Thanks so much for the replies. Really appreciated. I wanted to update ya'll on what I decided to get.. it was a Boxee

It works perfectly with everything I do. It has a great browser and get all the usual apps and can stream any kind of content from the web.

As a bonus, i can hook up my network drive and stream my videos from there which upscale beautifully.

Happy customer.
