I'm thinking about getting some sort of media player to play HD content off but don't know which one to go for.

They seem to start at about £100 for the WD HD player, then £200 for a popcorn hour player and then upwards to Apple TV, MacMini, PCs etc.

Has anyone any experience of these and will the play HD content off the internet?

have a good read here http://www.avforums.com/forums/streamers-network-m...

Generally the PH is a good bet, not quite as easy to use/fancy as others, but it does soooooooo much smile

Have you considered Apple TV? I have had one in my setup for a year now and I could not live without it!

Get yourself one with a US account and you can enjoy HD movie rentals for $3.99 smile Considering you can get a $200 iTunes voucher off e bay for £60 it makes it VERY cheap.............. wink

Sorry chaps, bloke is picking it up today.

Good bit of kit, but I find it a bit slow - needs a better processor.
