Best HDTV media player - Asus, Seagate, Western Digital

For those of you who have an HDTV and a bundle of media that's sitting on your laptop or computer (that you haven't been able to play on your HDTV or simply you decided to hook up HDMI cable everytime you wanted to stream something going back and forth between your computer and the sofa), here's a couple HD Media Players you can get to ease your HDTV experience. Of course, my best bet is that you actually get a media PC such as the ASUS EB1501 but if you don't need to turn your HDTV into a full-featured computer, try the following HD Media Players on the market and save a couple hundred bucks. Western Digital WD TV Live Network-ready HD Media Player The Western Digital WD TV is another viable full 1080P HD option for those of you who want to stream videos from your computer and other devices on the network. This device boasts ability to play back YouTube, Flickr, and Live365. The only downfall is that there's no WiFi support but you can easily get USB WiFi Dongle (such as Buffalo Dongle for $29.99) to give it some "wings". At the price of $109.99, the Western Digital is not a bad deal at all. The above two ASUS and Western Digital HD Media Players are probably the best on the market today. (I will update this post as new ones come out.) Also, if you are not really looking to stream from your computer to your HDTV but you want the opposite, there's a gadget for that too, try the SlingMedia PRO HD which allows to stream your HDTV content to multiple devices including computers and even smartphones.   Also, there's a slimmer model called SlingMedia Slingbox SOLO for those of you who don't need to go all out. Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex TV HD Media Player http://www.freevoucher.com.my The GoFlex TV has a smart-looking and compact casing. A door at the front flicks down to reveal that most of its interior is a bay for GoFlex portable drives. Even if you don't have such a drive, the whole device is so small we can't see anyone complaining about the unwanted bay. You can connect other storage devices to the two USB ports - one on the right-hand side and the other on the rear – but there's no built-in memory card reader for reading photos directly from SD cards. As well as accessing files from USB devices, you can stream them across a network from UPnP media servers or Windows shared folders. Other ports include HDMI, an optical S/PDIF and two minijacks. Supplied breakout leads convert the latter into AV and component outputs. There's a 10/100 Ethernet port, and 802.11n wireless can be added via a USB adaptor (part number: 100620155), it's not yet available in the UK but should cost around £30. It's tiny and so won't make the GoFlex TV any bulkier, but it will of course use up one of the two USB ports. ASUS O!Play Air - Wireless N TV HD Media Player http://www.freevoucher.com.my ASUS O!Play Air – Wireless N TV HD Media Player is probably one of the best out there, notably for its ability to stream videos from your computer harddrives via Wireless N or even wired ethernet.  (If you don't need WiFi, try the regular ASUS O!Play, same thing without WiFi.) On top of all the network connectivity goodies, the ASUS O!Play Air supports SD cards and even has USB slots to connect any of your USB external harddrives so you can plug and play. The only negatives about this device (I think) is that there's no support for YouTube but there's about 100 international channels you can currently watch (with more being added). The device supports full 1080P HD, which I like and also is very competitively priced at $129.99.
