I’m looking for an alternative to purchasing a $1000 recevier with network capabilites. I would like to buy ‘something’ to enable the viewing of movies/music/photos in my room/home theater setup. I previously owned a (LG HTIB) which enabled me to do so, and was wondering if there are anyother economic options. Main reason for not getting another LG HTIB is because I would like a little better sound quality. Thoughts? Media center? I don’t want to have my laptop connected evertime I want to pull a movie, etc…
