alpina Messages 1,179 Name Andy Edit My Images Yes 1 Sep 2011 #1 Is there some gadget that I could hook up to my tv so I could play films in avi & divx format that are stored on my upstairs pc wirelessly. I nearly bought a Sony media player but found out that it wouldn't play the file types I have on the pc.

Thanks for the info. The ability to stream BBC iplayer and YouTube is something else that I would like.
