Can't say these things are really my thing.. too niche to be good long term buys IMO.. a used PS3 or XBOX will get you most of the functions and are useful for playing discs as well.

Since they stream media, you'll still need a media server to serve up your own content... and something like an existing computer with TVersity will do the job well when used with the latest streaming media-friendly consoles.
