Media streamers

[Lee33]

i recently updated my home theater and bought, among other components, the Oppo BDP 93 which, as you know, streams movies from Netflix. I have tried a few and it works great. There are, however, media streamers that do a lot more and are not that expensive. If I am happy with the Oppo's streaming from Netflix is there any advantage to also getting one of the dedicated streamers?

Thanks,

Lee

It depends on what you want to do with the stand alone streaming device. I have a 93 and I picked up a Dune because it can play/stream movies in iso containers over a network. This allows me to clear the piles of old DVD's out of the living room. You can use the Oppo to stream files over a network, but not isos. I wanted to keep the menus and chapter search functions.
