You mean Popcornhour, this is about as good as it gets for the moment.

I've not heard of anything that can do this 'on the fly' other than a Virgin media box or BT vision but then you are restricted to what they can provide.

I stream all my HD content locally (from a NAS server). I would have thought that there would be bandwidth issues with a normal Internet connection.

Maybe he's not in the UK.

Most TV channels in Denmark are available in HD over ones internet connection.

I'm considering not going for a normal internet bandwidth option i.e. 50Mb/s !!

This is why I'm looking for this technolgy I stream from internet and then re-route stream direct to HD TV ! (in an easy fashion).

Need a good media streamer to play on HDTV video streamed in via internet in real tim

I need a good media streamer to play on HDTV video streamed in via internet in real time.

It may be a bit far fetched and I am not sure if it is entirely possible (please tell me if it is) but I want to be able to say click on something on my PC internet broweser and stream it and if I want to redirect that video/audio to my HD-TV then I would have the option of doing that.

I would prefer something that does the mentioned above rather than have to download the enitre movie / video file and then to have to convert it to a file format and THEN stream it to the HD TV.

Does anything out there do this ? I guess it would have to capture video/audio streamed into my PC in real time and then stream it out again and that is a tall order.

I've heard of "Popcorn Time" but I dont know if it will do what I want.

Any suggestions ?

PS: I can do Ethernet or Wifi to any room now with Ethernet over Power ..(thanks Tyler Merk)
