i'm about to buy a wd live tv unless someone can recommend something better for <$150

my friend has a popcorn hour which is pretty amazing, but i dont want to spend $300 on a media player

the only thing that makes me hesitant w/ the WD TV, is that it doesn't do netflix.. but then again, i'll mainly be using it to stream mkv files

i would just use my ps3, but it's a hassle/waste of space converting all my mkv files to vob

Not sure if it is better but a friend who owns the oplay and has used the wd, says that the oplay is easier to use.

ps3 media server will stream .mkv files to your ps3.

i have the 1st gen wdtv and it's pretty good - navigation is much easier and quicker than the asus in my experience. i wouldn't recommend picking up a 1st gen model for various reasons, but the 2gen and wdtv live devices are pretty great at what they do.
