I need a relatively cheap media streamer to play music and movies on my TV, and I want to know if anyone has any suggestions or recommendations.
I need it to meet the following requirements:
- Linux Support
- Divx/Xvid support
- Handle large music library (stored on Ubuntu computer)
- Easy interface. (Slimserver is excellent, just doesn't support video)
- HDTV would be nice, but not worth a large price jump
- Small internal drive is all I need, as long as I can swap stored video files easily.

So, am I really asking that much? Anyone know of a device that will do all this?
Thanks for any help!

Just any s-video cable or wire to connect your tv to your computer should work. Unless this is supposed to be something apart from your computer?

wow...$240 no thanks.
I think I might try moding my xbox to run XBMC. That should only cost me ~$50
