[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 852614, member: 176256"] I use a D-Link Boxee Box. This has played every video format and container I've thrown at it (MKV, xVid, DivX, MP4, MPG, avi, VOB, FLV, MOV, etc). It ouputs at up to 1080p and has both wired and wireless network connectivity. There are various apps that can be downloaded for it and the BBC iPlayer works well. This gives access to iPlayer radio as well - something which the Humax HDR doesn't. The ITVPlayer and Demand5 apps install but don't work - something to do with the difference between vanilla Boxee software on a PC and its implememntation on D-Link's Box I believe. It's a hugely stupid shape. Some people find it "cool" and "funky". I do not. It's an absolute pain to put on a shelf. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxee_Box[/url] This may be of some help - [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_set-top_boxes[/url] Finally, have you considered rolling your own with a Raspberry Pi?
