Toss out your old analog video recorder as that is no longer useful in this digital age. If you, like me, have a huge collection of digital media files in various formats, then you know that finding a good player that can stream this content to your TV could be a challenge.

One of the best ways to stream digital content would be set up a full blown HTPC. However, such setup often requires a certain amount of computer knowledge and the software often requires fine-tuning to get everything to work. And I have got to admit, even for a tech junkie like me, setting up a hassle free HTPC was not an easy task to everything I wanted. Despite the fact that HTPC offers way more functionality, some people may never care about these extra bells and whistles if all they need is a simple device to play back their digital collections. Another option would be paying for a subscription based service such as the DVR from your cable service provider or TiVo. Call me cheap but I simply want a device that can play back the digital content that I already have without the monthly fee.
