First, sorry if this is not the right place to ask this.

So recently I have been looking into some HD wireless streamers.

Some that I have looked at include the
d-link boxee box (Boxee - Watch Movies, TV Shows and clips from the Internet on your TV.)
and
the sony internet tv blu-ray disc player (NSZ-GT1 | Sony Internet TV Blu-ray Disc Player | Google TV | Sony | Sony Style USA)

I am wondering if anyone has ever used one and what their opinions are. I have read mainly good reviews for the boxee. I want something that makes me able to have internet on my tv, ability to stream videos from the internet to my tv, connect to my PC and ability to hook my external to it.

They both seem to be rather good, but I thought I would ask people their opinions on these products and maybe learn of a few others.
Thanks everyone.

The key question is what format have you ripped your movies to? Then you need to find a box that supports that format. If in the market for a new TV or Bluray, many of them now have this ability!

Dont count out the Western Digital Live boxes either, they are very nice!
