Movies and music are evolving into a digital medium, but for many it is difficult to get these files off your computer to enjoy them on a stereo or TV the way they were meant to be enjoyed. This need has lead to the introduction of the networked media player which allows you to stream files from a computer or external hard drive or computer to your TV or stereo. Many of these devices also let you access web based content like Netflix, Hulu Plus and YouTube. These devices serve as a great alternative to networked television sets.
