BluRay Player vs WDTV Live?

[billy2]

Shame cause in theory it looks a good unit. Is the wd live any good ? Just want to stream hd rips with true hd sound from my htpc in the loft. I have 360s but want something better

1 how are you ripping you hd rips ????

2 where are you going to keep them ??? hard drive ,nas or pc

3 dont for get a blu-ray rip is any thing from 20 - 50 GB par movie if you now going to compress it

4 have a look at the wd-live also the duna 101 and the 301s also the Acer Revo 3700's are very good but can take time to set up

I will download most of the rips. I have a computer already built which I use for everything. I have Xbmc on it but it will be hard for me to get a hdmi cable from the loft to the main tv so I thought I could use a media extender on my network. But I want something to play 1080p films with decent audio via my surround amp
