[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 797296, member: 176256"] Maybe one of the Boxee software boxes will do the job as new apps are being developed all the time. They are mostly with an American bias unfortunately. I have a D-Link Boxee Box which I use as a media player from an attached hard drive burt this will also stream from files on my laptop when I enable sharing on the folders needed. It also has an app for the BBC iPlayer and a Slingcatcher app - which ties in nicely with my Slingbox. You can go searching for apps that others have developed and I have a demand 5 app now installed. Boxee is actually software that runs on the D-Link Box (I know, confusing isn't it!) so you could install the Boxee software on your Laptop (it's free) and then see if you can find a suitable app before splashing out on a Boxee Box itself. It has to be said that there is an awful lot of (mostly American) rubbish so you will have to be selective. [/QUOTE]
