You can purchase a hard drive along with it or use a Memory Stick. Seems to work alright so far and allows me to NOT have to use my computer to interface with the TV. TMD

Can you stream to it? I actually am looking at the Asus O play, you can do the same, connect sticks or drives, but can also stream from a server (which I have put all my movies on now) My xbox will stream the xvid/divx and the microsoft formats, but I have some h264 Blue rays that I would love to stream with the Asus, xbox won't play those.

Popcorn media player is another, I think that one can run programs too

More money than the $85 I spent. This is tiny and will be great to move around the house and camper TMD

Looks like I have another one to compare....thanks!

A little more money and not on the market yet, but check out Boxee... Won Last Gadget Standing at CES. The software is free and available for Mac, Linux and WIndows - you don't need the Boxee to run it. The software is the best I've seen out there and it's open source so watch for heavy development. Boxee itself would be a nice cheap unit to hook to your TV. It will stream (wifi) from your home network shares or from a local disk.

I'm running Boxee on a Shuttle X50 all-in-one touch screen mounted in my kitchen and it's everything I wanted out of an appliance PC. I already dumped my MythTV stuff in favor of Boxee, as soon as the hardware comes out, some of my MediaPortal stuff is going bye-bye as well.
