Based on what I read on the net the Xtreamer may be slightly cheaper but its performance isnt that great. I would recommend either an NMT (Popcorn Hour or a clone like Egreat at $145 or Kaiboer K-100 at $176) or WD HD TV Live for $119. My own Kaiboer K-100 plays Blu-Ray files flawlessly over LAN. Something that my PC with an 8600GT and Phenom II 550 BE finds a bit difficult to do
