Need a network media receiver - WD / LaCie?

[pmruk]

Hi all,

I need a media streamer to play (mainly) video content over my network on my TV. Said content is stored on my Synology NAS in a variety of formats (including but not limited to avi, mp4, mkv). I was about to go for the WD TV Live (£78) but then read about flaky NAS support in the Amazon reviews. I then found the LaCie LaCinema Mini Bridge HD in a local shop (£108, Micro Anvika). It has build in wireless n and space to put a 2.5" HDD. Anyone got an opinion as to which one to go for? Anyone had success streaming content from a Syn NAS to either of these devices? Or is there some other media streamer out there which I might have overlooked?

Thanks

WD TV Live Hub has pretty wide media support. Don't know about the LaCie.

How about the new AC Ryan PlayOn Mini2?
