Or this one, which can be found for about £200

Sorry not quite sure why I would want one of these. I have a PC (basic spec) which cost little more than these devices. I have connected it to my tv, and wireless network. With this I can watch i player etc, download videos off the web and surf all on my tv.

Which is about 40% more expensive, so harldy in the same proce band.

Since when has this site become a place to post questions on comparing different kit? I thought it was for hot deals

Appreciate your comments, but not suitable for me. For 1 like you said, it did cost more. Is that including a genuine Windows licence? I've not got the room for a PC, I'm hoping to replace my DVD player really. Certainly don't want a keyboard/mouse lying around, though a keyboard probably is harder to loose down the side of the sofa. Rep left for you comments though.

Anyone got any personal experience of this device?

When did I say it was in the same price bracket? The deal is in the OP, it's by far the cheapest place I can find it at. And correct me if I'm wrong, but people are constantly comparing different kit, PS3/Xbox springs to mind.....

freecom do one for 120 ish can b tricky to set up but work well when done

How have you connected your pc to you tv and surf the internet on your tv, is it a special tv, I would love to do that, please tell me how

I really hope that you are either joking or being sarcastic!!

this is a good deal for the OP, I have also been looking for a media device and this one seems well spec'd and good for the money H&R to you Pubicnme!!

I'm still happy this the old Xbox 1 connected to my network streaming any media I want. For HD stuff I can connect the laptop (not cost much more than this) and watch that.

I take it this needs a hard disk on top?

Can a basic xbox 360 not stream media over wireless as well?

No it doesn't need a hard disk, it can stream media from your PC. I also have a laptop I can connect, but the idea of getting one of these is that it remains plugged in and I don't have to worry about connecting the laptop to the TV, to the mains etc etc.

A basic xbox360 doesn't have wireless, so you'd have to buy the wireless adapter which is about £40, and then build a sound-proof box for it.
