MKV on bigscreen..

[dawks]

I'm looking for an easy way to play MKV's on the big screen TV. Something like where you could download the file to a folder on the computer, and stream it wirelessly or over ethernet.

Xbox 360 and PS3 do not do MKV natively AFAIK. I have a WD TV, which works good, but its a pain copying files to a drive to sneaker net them around.

Are there any devices that could do this directly on the TV with networking support? For $100-300... (Besides hooking up a PC to the TV)

Thanks.

ps3 with ps3 media server?

What about the WD TV with the network connection? Has it been released yet?

HD Media Tanks are the way to go.

xbox owners need to mux everything they have into MP4. don't spend $300 on yet another media player.

I use Tversity on my PC and stream it over to my PS3. It works well.

Also works with 360's, from what I hear.

I use Tversity as well...lots of file formats not supported though so maybe I should look into the ps3 media server program referenced above...
