So, no one has any idea on these products?  I have PCH-A100, PCH-A300 & eGreat M-32B and planning to add additional media streaming on another room.  I just need video streaming via WIFI from our NAS.  What do you think is the best unit for that?

My wife bought a ROKU before I got here sa US, She uses it for Netflix only
but after we bought a Smart TV, it is now useless,...
and besides, I prefer to watch my HD movies via my WD TV live NMT,...

I heard so many good points about the Apple TV but I still haven't seen one perform just yet,...

I have no idea about the Roku, but I have an Apple TV 3.. Currently, my main use for it is for airplay mirroring.. I use this to mirror what is on my mac (or ipad or iPhone) to my TV.. I've only had it for a couple or weeks.. I also use it to watch Netflix (DNS) from time to time..

I have not tried streaming videos via wifi yet on the ATV.. Im not really too sure how it works, but I think your videos has to be on your iTunes library for the Apple TV to see it (then you turn on home sharing).. Im not sure if it can automatically see a NAS (like NMTs)..
Ill probably try it sometime.. WHen I do, I will let you know..

I have a PCH-A100 but I rarely use it anymore.. I just find using airplay better for me.. I get more controls by using my computer to stream my media to the tv..
