Hi all, newb here.
I had an old streaming media box
that worked great, but, is pushing up daisies now.
what i need is relatively simple.
i dont need netflix, HUBU,, or any of that stuff
mainly, i need to play media from my PC
on to my HDTV
i bought a ROKU 3,, but had to use PLEX to get the content
and dont like it at all.
the folder view sucks. i want an old-style windows explorer look.
Also, the FF and rewind were slow and clunky
mainly, i just dont like having to run PLEX on my PC
to view content.
i would love the idea of replacing my Direct TV /ATT box
but, thats not really needed.
I need the ability to play formats
MP4, AVI, MKV
and easily browse to my PC in a file-view is my main concern.
that said, i have a quad-core computer, and am pretty tech savy
- i am behind the times with new tech stuff,
but, if i can modify my computer to do this, i am all ears.
