QNAP NAS as Home Theater Solution?

[chocula]

qnap recently released their hd station (video for reference http/www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu59r_MrVag&list=UUoRW41xIvQXqUW4B4QCqPgg&index=2 and more info http/www.qnap.com/hdstation/us/

Is this a viable option to skip your media player? I think its really cool how you can directly plug in the HDMI to the NAS and to your TV to play your movies. Also the ability to have a file share/backup/ BT dl and more all in one with the QNAP is great too. Anyone have experience on the product?

any feedback is greatly appreciated

If you want to record/watch live TV, this solution doesn't work. If you have DVD and/or BluRay discs ripped to a hard drive, or download NetFlix movies, etc...this does work.
