I know you said you didn't want to go xbox but it really is the best way
without a PC.
There are other media players which stream the video from your PC, or you
could get a dvd player with a hard drive which is networked like KISS do.
I personally have 2 xboxes both modded with XBMC on for media and they are
great!
You can pick up an xbox for less than �100 these days and soft mod it for
next to nothing.
If you want you could put in a big hard drive too!

Have a lot at www.xboxscene.com
