best thing anyone can do is buy an xbox one...

Get it chipped...

Fit a 200gig drive, install slayer 2.7 then install xbmc and network share to ya pc....

Composite lead from the xbox to ya lcdtv and you have full hd streaming from any network resource in mint qual to ya tv.....

(scart lead also works LOL )

You can do this cheap - about 50-100 quid

and there you have a media centre that will play anything....and do loads of other stuff to
