I have a Western Digital TV Live media player but only used for short time.

$40 bucks.

my friend gave me a laptop with a broken screen. Removed the screen from a laptop andhave been using that as my Media Center.

For playing virtually any file format off a USB drive or home network. I just plugged in my hard drive and was good to go

If you stream video from your PC
WD TV Live Media Player Wi-fi 1080p

It won't do HBO Go or Amazon, but it'll play just about every video file format imaginable. And it'll stream them directly from your PC through DLNA.

If you have a lot of local files that you also want to play back in addition to streaming content, you should consider the $82 WD TV Live. It annoyingly lacks Amazon and HBO, but the real draw for this is handling local files from a USB drive or a networked drive.

Pirates, eat your hearts out.

The WD TV Live supports virtually every media format you can think of: AVI (Xvid, AVC, MPEG1/2/4), MPG/ MPEG, VOB, MKV (H.264, x.264, AVC, MPEG1/2/4, VC-1), TS/TP/M2T (MPEG1/2/4, AVC, VC-1), MP4/MOV (MPEG4, H.264), M2TS and WMV9. It even supports ISOs so if you have backed up your entire DVD collection (like I have) you can play those back on here.

CNET's Ty Pendlebury says "the reason you'd buy this over the Roku is if you have a large library of digital files... The laundry list of supported types misses very little and includes notables such as FLAC, AAC, MKV, DivX, and even ISOs," he says. "The small Dolby TrueHD logo on the top suggests that the device will also play Blu-ray 'rips' with full-quality sound (although we didn't test this)."

You can also stream content using DLNA on the WD TV Live.
