Hi,
I would like to have your advice:
I'm interested in buying a media streamer for the following purposes in a descending order:
A) Play music from my phone / local hard drive / computer to an AV receiver. I guess most streamers can do that.
B) Play high-quality (1080p, DTS) that are stored on a computer in the same network. I want to play them with subtitles.
C) It would be really cool if I could stream live content that I find on the web (e.g., some random website broadcasting live sports) to the TV.
I guess what I don't need are Netflix, Hulu etc. apps - as I don't live in the US I won't be able to use them in any case.
I don't trust my wifi connection, and I prefer an ethernet connection. I tend to get the Roku 2, but I'm not sure it is the best fit.
What would you recommend?
