I'm resurrecting this thread because I'm trying to find a way to watch x264 video files on my TV. It seems that .avi/DivX is dying and I need to change with the times. Has anyone tried the Boxee Box by D-Link or Apple TV for playing your video files on your TV? Do I need an Apple PC to use Apple TV? I'm leaning towards the Boxee Box... but it's $180 and that turns me off. I may have no choice, though... fall TV is right around the corner. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks guys.
