Sony's N100 set-top box proves to be a decently affordable way of getting your multimedia files into your old TV. Its best feature, though, is the way it gives aging TVs access to Sony's impressive Bravia Internet Video platform.

Bought one of these at Christmas as Amazon were selling them back then for not much more. Completely agree with the review - windows7 media player playback to the smp-n100 works flawlessly - it's positioned in the bedroom on a 4 year old Sony lcd - and despite the distance form the wireless router, once it has buffered the video stream works extremely well - the BBC iPlayer content is available in HD - but either SD or HD quality are just like watching normal TV on a 22inch.

I just wish they would provide 4OD as well - fingers crossed it comes soon - but overall i love it - and love how it gave a TV which still has a great picture another lease of life with streamed content.

Glad I read through to the verdict, so that I didn't make an arse of myself suggesting that a Sony blu-ray player might be a better option.

Of course to get wifi you'd need the BDP-570 (or newer 580) and this costs a bit more than the 470.

The BDP-570 is a very nice piece of kit. I use one with a Samsung 51" LED, they work well together. I'd consider this for the mater bedroom 37" Vizio.
