WDTV's are quite inexpensive now- don't get the new ones (Gen3) as they are not hacked yet.

Great for Art Installations (using one now) and Digital Signage, there are hacks for playback of 66mb/s material over HDMI!
(and the best thing is you switch it on and it 'simply works' for less than $100 USD!

My main motivation for posting this is that I almost swore not to buy one... thinking a MacMini or custom mini PC would be much better- but now I think completely opposite! If this works - and is cheap - just DO it... (anyway- I would rather use a PC for more productive stuff than looping video the whole day!)]]>
