Where to buy STB

[debackel]

Hi,

I'd like to buy a small STB for receiving streams on my TV emitted by my PC at the other side of the house.

what brand/model would you suggest (cheap)?
Where can I buy those? I made some internet search on Amino, but as a private person, it doesn't seem easy to find.

Thanks in advance.

I've had good results with the Hauppauge MediaMVP.

It's as small as possible, perfectly quiet, yet delivers some good SD video. I get better quality MPEG decoding than I get on my PC.

Available in wired $100 USD and wireless $150 USD versions.

It is probably the most flexible device available, since many "alternative" software packages have been written for it, and it is supported by BeyondTV, GB-PVR, MythTV, and other do-it-yourself PVR software.
