Media Player advice

[Luna72]

Hi,

I am looking for a media player to stream videos to my TV. All I need to do really is stream video content from my notebook or even better directly from my dropbox cloud folder (a dedicated Dropbox applet would be a huge plus) to my TV, BBC iplayer would be nice too, I don't care for other functionality at moment. HD supported would be nice! If it was wi-fi ready great otherwise I would be happy just plugging it into my LAN. Must have HDMI!

I was looking at WD TV live player and D-link Boxee but they are expensive (85-99£) and have lots of functions that I don't need/want (lovefilm, etc.).....although I don't know if they support Dropbox or not!

Any other ideas?

Thanks.

Maybe Roku would meet your needs. It has a Dropbox app. If you install Plex on a PC as a media server you can stream many (but not every possible one) media file types from a PC to the Roku. Roku has an iplayer app too but as I live in the USA it would require more work than I'm willing to do to get it to work for me, if I even could do so.

Roku charges £6.50 for their dropbox channel. So, no thanks!

I read about Android TV box 4.2 coming out next week, I think I will give that a go!...any experience out there with it?
