> John, you should take a look at the PopBox or Popcorn Hour A200.  Both are
> less than $200; the PopBox is ~$130 and the A210 is $200 and are hardware
> based.  No need to muck around building another computer.  Both will play
> back up 1080p at 24/25/30/50/60 frames per second using virtually any
> video container.
