    Which Media Players available in HK? (Apple TV, WD TV Live or Alternatives?)

    Hello,

    I am trying to buy a decent working Media Player for streaming of Media content from my PC to my TV and am down to a small selection including the new Apple TV and Western Digital TV Live Plus.

    Problem: Both seem not to be available here (yet). does anybody know when they will be released, resp what better/other alternatives exist in HK?

    I went to Wan Chai PC Center recently and the selection was pretty limited, with mostly old models. Any recommendations would be great!

    Cheers

    I know the WD Live is available here, I thought the only difference for the 'Plus' was direct access to selected US based movie sites?

    For apple stuff there are a couple of Mac-themed/influenced malls. Windsor House has a shop with apple TV, however I went down the Mac mini route for more flexibility.

    Update:

    I bought the Western Digital TV HD (WD TV HD Media Player ( WDBABF0000NBK )) for 750 HK$ including a free HDMI cable. Location Wan Chai Computer Mall. First shop quoted me 1500, lol, if you look around and compare prices you should be able to get a good deal here...

    Did you decide against streaming from your computer ?

    yeah, i never intened to actually stream, my main purpose is to play from my external hd, and since i have stored everything on multiple small wd passports, this is perfect solution for me..

    I've also seen the Xtreamer (Xtreamer.Net - Home) and various other generic Chinese media players for sale at Mongkok Computer Centre
