Watching downloaded content
maccy
27-01-2012
I have a lot of stuff downloaded to a PC running Windows 7 in my home, and I'd quite like to watch some of that content on my bedroom TV over my wireless network.

What device would you guys recommend? The LCD TV is wall mounted so it'd have to be a small box that could easily be masked behind it, including cables. The power could be cabled up using the existing trunking.

I've toyed with the idea of getting Apple TV but most of my collection is in AVI format so I don't fancy all that convesrion work..... downstairs I use a combination of the PS3 and Windows Media Center via the Xbox 360.

Thanks in advance.

For the streamer, you can't go far wrong with the WD live, though the newer android based players are supposed to be pretty good.

It has not got wireless but to be honest I would not recommend wireless if you are going to be streaming HD video. I would look at homeplug.

WD Live + homeplug should set you back around £120.
