Hi all

I have a 2TB Buffalo Terastation Live (dhtgl/r5) connected to a router that I can access round the house on my PCs and PS3, however I am now looking for a media player/streamer to allow the missus to easily play music (primarily) but occasionally stream video to our TV/AMP in the living room.

I have an ethernet port to connect the streamer/player to and would ideally like something with a screen so that when she is just playing music she can use the player/streamer without needing the TV on.

The AMP has component and digital audio in and feeds directly to the TV. I am not too fussed about HDMI at this stage although if it had that as an output as well that would be a bonus...

I used to have Twonky installed on the TSLive but recently it bricked it and having had to rebuild am just looking to use the DLNA share that the TSLive provides.

I have looked around but can't seem to find anything that fits the bill and wondered if any of you wise souls can provide any guidance/advice

Thanks as always

Usually such products are broken down into two separate things like a media streamer with a GUI that can play music/video (e.g WDTV Live) and dedicated music players like Squeezebox or Sonos.

The Popcornhour C-200 has an LCD screen though I do not know if it can be used in such a manner to play music from it without the TV on. But its the only player I can think of that even has a display built into its at least worth investigating.

thanks for the reply. Does the PCH C-200 work with the TSLive? Can't see anything that says it works with DLNA... The LCD does allow navigation without using the TV screen so that is one hurdle overcome...

Yes the PCH C-200 can access content over DLNA.

Has anyone tried the Hisense 1080p media player with the TSLive? At £60ish it seems to do most of what I want for a tiny price...
