but that sounds expensive, and apparently a little excessive. Anyway. My question is:What's the cheapest alternative I could use tonwatch my videos on my TV thatdoesn't involve using my main PC?
I rip all my videos using Handbrake, both in SD and 1080p HD using the Apple TV 3 preset (older ones in SD with the Apple TV 2 preset). I'm open to either building an HTPC that hooks up to my TV or a cheap computer and stream to an Apple TV or Roku or whatnot. As you can tell I'd love to have an all-in-one solution but I'm looking forthe cheapest possible way. I'd like to keep my main PC out of it since it would ideally be an always-on solution. I already have two 3TB USB3 hard drives for the videos (which I'm willing to take out of the enclosure, SATA inside), and both an EVGA GeForce 9500 GT and Hauppauge WinTV HVR 1600 I could use to build a PC if so needed, don't necessarily have to use them of course. Sorry if I'm talking too much, thanks for your help!
