Netgear Digital Entertainer Elite EVA9150 Wireless HD Media Receiver

The Entertainer Elite is simply the best and easiest way to stream video from your PC and the Internet to your HDTV, and the PlayOn support is revolutionary. We only wish it directly streamed Netflix and Amazon video too.

Netgear's Digital Entertainer Elite is the most versatile example to date of a rare breed: set-top media players that can be used by "the rest of us." With their terminal-like interfaces that only a geek could love, most such boxes seem to appeal mainly to the file-sharing/hacking crowd, but the $400 Entertainer makes it painless to connect your TV to your PC or Mac, and to the Internet at large.

Without reading the manual, or even looking at the foldout quick-setup sheet, we were quickly watching videos streamed from our PC and YouTube. You simply connect the box to your TV via a cable--HDMI, component, or composite--then run through a quick on-screen setup procedure using the included remote control.

It asks for your TV's maximum resolution (up to full 1080p is supported) and your zip code (for program guide information, as well as things like traffic and weather), then hooks up to the Internet, which can be wired or wireless. If you are using Wi-Fi, 802.11n is recommended.
