I currently stream media from my PC to my Xbox360 for viewing on my HT set-up. I am looking for a device that can replace the Xbox360 in this capacity. So something that will recognize the media on my PC (and ideally continue to use TVersity as my media server) and playback the content onto my TV.

I see things like the Netgear's Home Theater Kit, WD's TV Live Hub, D-Link Boxee and the like. Are these devices what I'm looking for? I don't really want to store the media on these devices if I can avoid it, as I have existing storage capacity on the network already. I just need something to stream the media.

Thanks in advance for thoughts and suggestions.
