Hi, I can't understand one thing, people hate it when I, unintentionally, promote Apple, but find it unstrange when there is apparent lack of a decent device which compares to Apple's device.
I don't say go with close source, I don't say use proprietary products, but at least give me a decent alternative Excuse me, but FIT-PC2 is, at least from looking around: 1) Expensive for the Spec you get - and I am not even sure it works ok on movies, just because it has HDMI doesn't mean it will work properly on movies 2) No apparent user base - if it doesn't work or doesn't work properly, you are in the dark 3) Proven technology, Apple TV , with all my feelings (not positive) for Apple, works, and works quite nicely There are US solutions that are non-Apple to do what I am looking for, but I can't find them in Israel.
