Took the plunge on iPad this week, Sky Go was the clincher. I've had my HTC One X since launch and still waiting for Sky to complete their 'testing', if and when they finally support the phone the next version of Android'll be out and things will break again.
I just had to find something to play .mkv files streamed from my NAS, a .flac player (cos I CBA converting my music to another format) and a Squeezebox controller and I'm done
Don't like the locked down nature of the file system but I can live with that.Gronda GrondaComment

Any of the xbmc remotes will control .mkv files being played to a xbmc raspberry pi machine however good player doesn't seem to play sound at the moment and that was the program for streaming video.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

.mkv I want to play on the iPad, not send it somewhere. Airplayer works nicely, others I tried (e.g. 8player) weren't happy with some of the codecs.
Flac player is what I ended up with - thanksGronda GrondaComment

Oh and Firefox too, or another browser that supports Flash, and you're away.Comment
