Terrain Safe suggested the WD TV live media player
I bought one of these and have not been too happy with it.
Unstable in operation with freezing up a lot of the time.
I updated the firmware to the very latest version and this just made matters worse. In the end I managed to 'roll back' the firmware which restored the device to its previous less unstable state.
Tried netflix on it which worked some of the time. After a couple of reasonable films we were of the opinion that the rest of their content wasn't worth wasting our time with.
I suspect the somewhat variable broadband speeds here (B.T. internet with a very old exchange) did not help the WD TV Live deliver its best. However I have to say that the BBC Iplayer generally works well on our Humax and the device doesn't crash everytime the broadband turns itself into 'narrow band'.
These media player devices are still in their infancy and I would wait a year or two before wasting good beer money.
Kind regards
