Streaming NAS to non DLNA TV
I want to connect my ReadyNAS 102 to my non DLNA TV. I know I need a middle man between the two, but don't know which one will work. I looked at the Netgear Digital Entertainer's but they are all E...
I have good experience with my recently acquired WD TV Live in combination with RN516. WD TV Live can regard the NAS as a network share and play directly from it's disks. It also supports DLNA and connects to the TV via HDMI. More info can be found on http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=330. Click "Specification" for the list of supported formats.

You need to take some time to find the right toolset that produces the format from your DVD/BDs. After some testing I opted to convert them to .mkv. Consider that it takes about 15-20 min for each DVD (depending on the capablities of your computer) and even longer for BDs. Also make sure that home movies you have created in the past from smart phones or digital camera's have a format that the media player supports.
And if you are old enough to still have VHS movies and vinyl records consider how often you still play those and if it is worth investing the time to convert them. Maybe just buy the ones you really like on DVD or CD and forget about the rest.
