I've read around here but not found a good answer...
I have a Windows Media Center PC (W7) recording .wtv files from Freeview and eventually HD when we get it.
It also has an 80GB library of MP3 and another 20GB of JPG.
The house is fully wired with cat6 quality cable and sockets.
I have an xbox 360 in use as an MCE extender which is working fine connected to an old Sony CRT in the lounge.
I'd previously tested the PS3 in there too which worked using the MCE DNLA server.
In the bedroom I have an LG 1080p TV (no networking).
We'd occasionally like to watch recorded TV there too but another 360 seems like overkill as well as being louder than I'd like.
iPlayer etc. would be a bonus but the main thing is .wtv playback.
I'd really prefer not to transcode as I'm not sure I have the horsepower on the HTPC to do it live and I wouldn't want to transcode everything on the off chance we decide to watch it in bed.
Is there a small, cheap, silent, streamer that can playback .wtv from the DNLA server on the MCE PC?
Thanks for looking!
