Hi,
I have a TV in my living room, a laptop in my working room, and an Xbox 360 next to the TV. Currently I use my TV's USB plug as well as the Xbox sometimes to stream movies. However, these two methods presents a lot of codec problems. I have even tried TVersity and PS3 Media Server for the Xbox but it just doesn't work, probably codec issues with decoding.
I am looking for an alternative that would allow me to watch movies in HD, without codec limitations, and without requiring much time from me to set it up (no building of PC's). Roku3 seems like a good alternative but I am not sure if it supports all the different codecs that I will be playing. This is why I think a HTPC would be better since I can always download or update codecs to it.
Any advice? Thanks
