All in one streaming box for disabled person

[WDeranged]

I'm moving a disabled person into a house and he's never had HD before so I thought it'd be nice if I could find a box which is capable of playing all the current file formats and is easy to use, USB pen input would be required as he won't have a computer or the internet for a good while.

My budget is around £50 but I can stretch a bit further for something special, all we really need is HDMI and stereo phono output, 5.1 output would be cool though.

Thanks in advance

You want it so he can watch HD movies off the usb drive I take it?

If so then a Raspberry Pi with xbmc can do this just fine for under £50.

if he is planning on getting a PC in future, kill 2 birds with one stone and just get a net top or one of those small pc's which is the same size as a couple of blu rays strapped together. or a laptop with hdmi out.


will cost you £200-£300 but it will do anything and everything.

WDTV Live is good. It's mature, easy to use and plays everything I've thrown at it.

Thanks to everyone else for their replies but the WDTV does look like a winner, I'll go pick one up and give it a test run
