Internet Movie Buffering

Have you most people have struggled frustrated at the prospect of trying to hire out the latest blockbuster DVD, having to drive to your closest outlet just to be told "they are all booked out". Now there is an alternative using fast Media Buffering devices via the internet direct to your Plasma television. In this article you can discover which device might fit the bill!

This was my experience recently when trying to rent the Blu-ray Cowboys and Aliens. That got me thinking, what about buying one of the new Media Streamers and attaching it to my Plasma television?

Having a relatively fast internet speed of 11MBytes/sec would permit me to open up a whole new world of digital media, from buffering music files and internet radio to HD movies from the likes of Netflix and Blinkbox. But which device would suit my system, because my internet router can be found in my study upstairs.

I could buy a device like the more expensive D-Link Boxee which includes a wireless connection or spend less overall and go for the new Sony SMP-N200 which is more of a straightforward streamer at half the cost.

Further Investigation

Since hitting theaters many years ago the D-Link Boxee which could play a wide range of video and music files has underwent a software upgrade. It's cost is £200 and can play high quality audio formats (FLAC and WAV) as well as HD video (inc MKV files). Outputs include two UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS sockets permit it to plug to external devices and that could include an external Hard drive. This would effectively create an inexpensive server. Also the Boxee will communicate with any NAS (Networked Storage Device) on your system which will assist you to browse your library of video, music and media data.

Interestingly, Boxee now has a dedicated BBC iPlayer iphone app onboard which means it is easier to navigate around and as long as you have at least 2MB/sec internet speed, browsing quality should not be a problem.

However what struck my interest the most was the fact that the movie-streaming provider Blinkbox had now enrolled to will include a dedicated Film app too. YouTube was also were made for and a big plus for music fans the addition of Spotify.

It seems that D-Link are on to a winner here!!

Think about a viable alternative? Well as i mentioned earlier the Sony SMP-N200 can provide a simple Smart-TV upgrade.Coming in at just under £99 it can also play a variety of video and audio files, although it will not handle MKV or AAC Files over the network.it will however play both these formats via its USB input.

This revolutionary product includes wifi and its software menus are easy to navigate around and similar to those available on its Blu-ray players and Television sets. A big plus for those of us with older TVs is the fact that the SMP-N200 also sports analogue audio and component video results.

If you do own a 3D Flat Screen TV, Sony can also display 3d Video both online and via UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS. Whether you are streaming the BBC iPlayer in HD or using its Video Unlimited film service, we have been told the sound and display quality is superb.
