There are ton of ways to stream media from your PC to your TV, but Pinnacle is hoping that you will choose their ShowCenter 250HD to do the job. It has a lot going for it, both wired and wireless (b/g) connectivity and support for a range of formats.
The formats that the ShowCenter can handle include:
MP3, WMA, WMA Pro, WMA lossless, WMA-DRM, PCM WAV uncompressed, Windows Media Video 9, WMV-DRM, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 AVI, DivX, XviD files, as well as high-defenition WMV 9, DivX HD and MPEG-4.
Where I believe that this product goes wrong is with the failure to include FLAC support. FLAC is fast becoming the lossless format of choice for music buffs. The other thing that was noticeably absent was an HDMI port. HDMI would have unquestionably raised the price a little bit, but for the performance advantages that it offers, one would think it to be a nice inclusion.

[...] We’ve seen and tested a few streamers before, including ones that play DivX and XviD, but this Pinnacle solution looks like it’s going to hit the sweet spot for price/performance. The thing can handle 1080i playback of Windows Media Video 9, WMV-DRM, MPEG1, MPEG2, MEPG4 AVI, DivX, XviD, as well as high definition files like WMV 9, DivX HD and MPEG-4 HD. The 250HD works with Vista and XP PCs that have Windows Media Player 11 or Windows Media Connect (not Windows Media Center), and can grab files through Ethernet or 802.11g. All this for a price of $200 means DivX and XviD fanatics have something to look forward to this Christmas. [Pinnacle via Uber Review] [...]
