Is it true that you can buy NAS storage devices that can run SAB, thus reducing the need for a media streamer/player altogether?

Or does the NAS simply provide the storage of the files and therefore a media player is needed regardless?

Thanks again for your help here.

Sorry you are right, I didn't elaborate too much.

Essentially I want to do away with having to constantly transfer files from my laptop to my iPad and connecting that to the tv just to watch my files. In addition it would be great if I didn't need to boot upmy laptop just to download a film or two.

It kind of narrows things down for me I suppose.

Perhaps Something like an Acer REVO (mini pc) as the media streamer would be the best bet then?

In terms of the Pi, would the low spec have an impact on a home entertainment system at all?

The REVO is about £150 and the Pi is about £40

Im currently using Sab on my laptop as and when needed but I'm hoping to get a home network sorted and to automate my Sab downloads to a networked hard drive whilst I'm away from the house.

Can this be done?

How do you set up at home?
