heres how I do it I have lots of HD video on hard drives

old dual core pentium computer I no longer use, running playon and TVeristy Playon is all you really need it now has a plugin for playing local files

they send video to my PS3 (via the LAN) which does the upconversion or the H.264 decoding or whatever (thats the trick let your ps3 or xbox do the video decoding)

The added advantage is I can also watch hulu and my netflix instant queue on my HDTV in HD no less

I cancelled cable TV...no longer need it.
