Can anyone recommend a few devices in this category? Not having much like Googling without knowing what to look for. I'm just looking to play relatively basic videos (720p H.264 at 10Mbit, say) off a USB hard drive. Netflix, Hulu, 3D, 10-bit, ethernet and 4K unnecessary. Could I grab something like this with a remote for around $50, or is that unrealistic?
So far I have had good results with my MK808B PLUS, but I am hesitant to outright recommend it until I run it through all the tests I abuse every HTPC with.
One thing that gives my pause is the 10 bit requirement. I need to try some on this thing. I apologize I can't be more helpful yet but I will update OP with my findings.
