Media Streamer

[iamtheoneneo]

my original plan to cable my pc to tv has been squashed and now thinking of going for a media streamer, iv been having a look on the net and found some interesting ones, my budget is £100 and it MUST have the following:

Optical out
support .mkv and other community friendly formats @1080p
have at least a lan (wireless not so bothered about)

iv been looking at the following:
Asus O!Play HDP-R1
Western Digital WD-TV Live

is the wd tv live worth the extra £10 over the asus? any other devices or are these pretty much the best out their out the mo?

i dont think some of you actually read the first post?
Popcorn hour media player? at £180 min how does that fit into a £100 budget lol?

as for ps3/360 i do have both but they dont support optical out when streaming and would hardly play most of the formats i want too.

anyway i decided on the wdtv live today so it will arrive tomorrow
