Ok so... Havnt really done much of the home theater/streaming media stuff yet.
So heres my scenario, I need some help and suggestions.
My computer/router is upstairs while my TV/Receiver is downstairs. I just want to be able to play all types of media files such as vobs, dvds, blu-rays, .mkv and all other high def media files. What is the best and most cost effective option here?
I just bought a Amazon Fire TV stick because it was on sale for $25, have not yet opened it or tried it yet.
I was thinking it might just be nice to not have to rely on having my computer upstairs turned on to play digital files, so if that was the case, id need to go with something I can plug into my receiver I think... I wish I could just straight plug in an external hard drive with media files into the receiver but I dont think it would read the files....
Is WD TV live any good? I can get $25 off on it now putting it at $75 which is fairly cheap. Good bet for that and id be able to stream stuff as well I think.
