Hi all - I have what I hope is a generic question which I've been unable to find a definitive answer to on the forums so far.
I've got an HDR-Fox T2 downstairs connected to the home network and recording SD and HD content. After a long while attempting to get my two Sony TVs to play the recordings via DLNA on the Humax and/or MediaTomb, I've effectively given up! Instead, I'm now looking at a physical device which I can use to stream the SD & HD content (I understand I'll have to decode the HD recordings) and would appreciate people's thoughts on the below options:
1) An HD-Fox T2
2) PS3 (which I think will have the same decoding problems that the Sony Bravia TVs are having)
2) A network media-player such as the Sumvision Cyclone Live Media (http://www.ebuyer.com/257407-exdisp...layer-adaptor-version-2-1080p-ebr1-avdv000473)
No-go's:
1) A PC (too expensive)
2) Replacing the TV(!)
3) Converting all of the recorded content to another format so it'll play on the Sony Bravia TVs (To cumbersome/impractical for everyday use)
To clarify - the end result I'm looking for is a way to play recordings from the HDR-Fox T2 (both SD & HD) on a second TV which is connected to the same network, with minimal fuss and cost![Smile :) :)](/forum/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png)
Thanks in advance to anyone who's able to chip in with thoughts or experience!
