Believe it or not
I am using SageTV with their streamer, the STX-HD100 and from what I can see, no one at Cnet has done a review on what could be the best of the best in streaming almost anything to your tv. It will stream most internet sites, utube etc. the nice thing about the system is that it plays almost any file format you can think of. I am runnning 3 dual tuner cards that allow me to record 6 shows at one time. My very big TIVO. And to top all that off it will play ripped DVD's located on any specified hard disk on your network (wired). I am talking about playing DVD's from a video_ts directory and it handels all HD also. From the HDMI out to a Onkyo receiver to my 47" LCD. And with no glitches.
This is not an add for Sage TV but for something that does all things very well for not much money, its hard to beat and what seems to be a best kept secret.
How about doing a review on this equipment or come to my house for a free demo...
Out of the box, the D-Link DSM-330 can play back .avi's (both DivX and Xvid) natively. It also transcodes WMV, Flash and MPEG-1on the fly. With some minor tweaking, it can also transcode .mkv's (h.264) as well. It also let's you stream MP3's and photos from your PC tot he TV.
In my opinion, it's pretty flexible when it comes to inputs, but it does require that the PC be running. That being said, utilizing the PC's CPU make the menu look very crisp and photo slideshows with high resolution images are very smooth.
There is also a number of interesting plug-ins for online content, including YouTube, Hulu, DailyMotion, Break, and many more at DivX Labs.
If you want to try out DivX Connected before buying, you can run the PC version of it right now, just download the software from DivX Labs.

- Western Digital has a nice new box. The only problem is that it does not attach to a network. It is designed to work with a USB hard drive or a thumb drive. But for the price ($120 or so), it's a very impressive machine.
