My regular readers know that I love my modded Xboxs running XBMC. However, the problem I’m facing currently is that my poor old Xboxs don’t have enough power to handle HD content.
I bought a Xbox 360 in 2005 for two reasons, to play Halo 3 and to get a new HD media centre. Unfortunately, it looks like the modding community are never going to crack the 360 and Halo 3 still isn’t out yet, so my 360 is gathering dust under my TV.
Which means I still don’t have the HD media center I desperately want. What do you think are my best options are for getting one? I read about the Netgear EVA8000 yesterday that can stream HD content. Do you think this will be my best bet, or is there a better device on the market? Or, should I hang in there with my 360 or maybe even buy a Playstation 3 which is showing more modding promise?
Another alternative is to connect my PC directly to my Plasma HDTV. I’m hoping to move to a bigger flat this summer so I might be able to put my PC in my living room and hook it up directly to my TV with a very long cable.
