Basically in the new house ive run ethernet to behind all the teles in the house, they go back to a switcher unit attached to my router, and also my "WD my book" harddrive.
Now i can watch films directly from the hard drive through my network with my xbox but i want a small box that does that so i can have the same feature on the other teles in the house.
needs to be pretty cheap and simple so the missus can use it lol
what can i get?
thanks

Just get a cheap hdmi streaming box gadget. Plenty on ebay, sorry can't recommend any specifically. I've got one in my bedroom, but it's older and not that great!
Spend a little more and get a web connected blue ray player, thats what I use in the living room.

Don't watch a lot on discs to be honest.
Got a link to any of the streaming boxes so I know what I'm looking for?

At home I've got a TViX HD Slim S1. It's a bit more advanced but still easy to use. I've also heard good things about the D-Link Boxee.

Sparkystav I need 2 though and have to be simple for the missus.

Those WD TV ones are similar to what I meant. As long as they are network linked. No link at the mo as on phone.
I occasionally play disks, but primarily use the blue ray to go on youtube and as a media sever interface, similar to what I think you want. My sony one is great. Was £99 last christmas, so with it being an older model now, ebay clearance or second hand could be a bargain to be had.

I don't want to spend much and don't need a disc player built in to be honest.
Like the netgear but as I need 2 a but pricey. But that's the sort of thing I want thanks
