Default Finishing Touches For My Home Network

Dear Forum Members

After many months of planning and buying the necessary equipment I am now ready to add the final device to complete my home network.

The main items I required, mentioned in my previous posts (shown below), I now have.

2) http://www.gnutellaforums.com/chat-o...tml#post370563 Adding a Network Attached Server, i.e. NetGear ReadyNAS Duo V2
However, I now require a device that will allow me to watch all my videos, stored on my NAS unit, on my TV without the need for transcoding, i.e. the need to convert the video files from one form to another.

At the moment I am using Plex software (both server and app), installed on my NAS unit and on my Now TV box, to watch some of the films on my TV but, unfortunately, most of the films I have require transcoding, which my my NAS unit does not support.

Hence, the need for a new (and final) device.

Any clarification questions or suggestions will be gratefully received.


UK Bob
