What's currently the best box for streaming ripped DVD content?

[Paul Gordon <paul_gordon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, so I'm sitting here looking at my jailbroken Apple TV2 contstantly
saying "Loading"... 15 minutes now and impatient kids waiting for
Star Wars,... Another 5 minutes and it's going out of this 2nd floor
window.... Like pretty much anything that isn't genuine apple, it's utter
shite...
The software is slow, buggy, and not a patch on the real thing... If I
could I'd just go to iTunes and pay for the damn movie (again) just to get
the media I want when I want it, but unfortunately, the Star Wars films
aren't on iTunes... They are all on my NAS of course, as ripped DVD's in
video_ts folders... So sick am I of the piss poor performance of jailbroken
kit, that I am now resolved to find another box that does this better...

So, the question is, what *is* the best box for streaming my own personal
content? Most of the front runners don't do it... I tried a windows PC for
a couple of years, - I'm never going down that route again... Roku doesn't
do local content... Apple TV doesn't do it without jail breaking, and doing
that to it turns it into a pile of shite...

Surely in this day and age, it cannot be beyond the wit of mankind to make
a box that is as good as a proper Apple TV, but which will play my ripped
DVD's... Is that really so much to ask?
