Cheap home media device

[CraigDS]

Hello I am wanting to buy a cheap home media device that I can connect to my dads old (4year) tv. I want something like apple tv that my dad can watch YouTube, bbc i player, Netflix and maybe listen to napster etc. Has anyone got any ideas or point me in the right direction please?

Western Digital's wdtv live boxes perhaps?

Ok I will look into it. I think I seen something from Sony???

The Sony SMP-N200? Can't recommend it as never even seen one, but looks to do what you want?

I had the Sony SMP-N100, nice device, so the 200 should be good.

I switched to an Apple TV, mainly because I'm an iTunes user, if you're not I prob wouldn't. Very nice to use though. Also, the ATV doesn't have iplayer. I run the app on my iPad and AirPlay to the ATV.

But the Sony is more functional.
