My initial thoughts were to get or build a Media Centre PC. My problem is I don't really need or want PVR as a function (I'm with NTL and will probably end up with their PVR box at some point).

I'm just after something as simple as possible. Streaming AVI (DIVX and xvid) would be ideal really and as my PC is in a different room to my TV it would need some form of network connectivity.

I've found a couple of devices e.g. Netgem Iplayer+ and a Packard Bell Medi@ thing. All seeming a little out of date (although weren't too bad price wise). Newer systems are expensive and I was hoping to keep my costs down to around £50. Not reaching £100 if I can avoid it.

Any ideas? It seems like a bit of an untapped idea at the moment with Manufacturers.
If I were you I would not contemplate Packard Bell even for a door-bell.
