Media Streamer

Hi, I'm looking to get a media streamer that can connect to a home server and play back 1080p mkv rips. My budget is around £80. What would be the best in this price bracket?

At that price point, the Western Digital WDTV Live is a strong contender. As the other thread mentions, I've just picked up a Viewsonic VMP74 and it works perfectly for £60.

There are tons more options, though, depending on any further features etc. you need.

+1 for WDTV Live, or if you dont need to stream pictures and music, the standard WDTV HD Media Player is fine
