I currently live in Canada, while my mother lives in the US. What I need, is a TV top box (I guess).. that I can access through an IP from anywhere, i.e, Canada.
What I'm trying to do:
I want to be able to load TV shows onto a device and have my mother be able to watch them on her TV. The catch is, I want to be able to do this from another country. I want to be able to add/remove files from the device remotely. I have her setup with high speed cable with a decent wireless router. So speed or connectivity isn't an issue (other than to the TV that is *see below).
On a side note, she currently has a Roku 2 XS.. can anything be done with that to help get me what I want?
What I think I need:
A box with built in HDD or port for external drive.
Can play pretty much all formats/codecs. divx, xvid, avi, mp4, etc..
Be connected to the internet (Wireless would be a bonus)
*Be able to connect to analog TV, HDMI is not an option unless I get some kind of converter and/or adapter.
Thanks in advance if anyone can help!
