I am upgrading the TV in my bedroom to an HDTV and want a good budget HD media player to go with it. For the past few years I've had a 50' S-video cable running from my computer room to bedroom but it is unsightly. The actual distance between rooms is probably in the 15-20' range.
From what I understand I can't really go the wireless route since I have a G router, and even the N's can't stream 1080p seamlessly over a home network. Would another option be to get an HD Media Player with a built in hard drive and network it into computer so that I can move files and play it off the HD seamlessly? Will there be a workable menu system or will I have to swap around hard drives?
For my HDTV downstairs I've been playing files off of a laptop but I don't want to do that in my bedroom. There must be a pain free way of doing this so that I don't have to leave the room to change movies.
Thanks.
