hi guys!
i've done some search, googled and also here on tha hump, but didn't find anything that is close to my needs:

basically i need a device that allows me to stream HD video from the computer to the TV, via the HDMI entrance of the tv.
the connection between this device and my pc should be a classic network cable or any different that allows me a connection from 10 mts aprox.

i own a ps3 and tried to do this via the ps3 server, but is a pain in the ass to run smooth video.

any ideas or suggestions?

Roku players are another option.
http://www.roku.com/

one of the most important thing is to make sure it can decode proprietary audio codecs .. I think the WD Live downmixes DTS to 2.0 stereo, which is better than my older WD that just plays silence instead Sad

personally I have an apple tv 2 which works perfectly fine after being jailbroken

asus z170-A || core i5-6600K || geforce gtx 970 4gb || 16gb ddr4 ram || win10 || 1080p led samsung 27"
