I am looking for a media player that will handle streaming HD and SD movies over a wifi network. It doesn't need an internal hard disk just USB and Wlan. I have an old PC doing the job but its not powerful enough to handle 720P MKV files.

I have a PC with several folders of media shared in another room and I would like to stream from it.

Any recommendations?

The Hisense HD Media Player MP800H is about the cheapest around at the moment. What audio/video connectivity do you need ? Streaming HD video over WiFi might be problematic - is there a possibility of a wired connection ?

My TV is only 720P so the 54g wifi I hope should be enough f͘or the moment. I would be using HDMI (plus 2xRCA for audio if necessary).

I can't wire both the PC with the files on it and the media player to the router, so I am using a wired connection from PC to router and wifi to the media player.

Getting a wifi adapter to go with some of the players I have looked at is difficult. Someone suggested the Sumvision Cyclone player but I found it near impossible to find a compatible wifi adapter for it.

Also firmware support going forward is important, some of the cheaper models might not get any firmware updates.

Yes support for the Hisense going forward is a worry..But it is a great player,As i said before there will be a few new players very soon and i would wait to see how they stack up against the rest.
