LG Smart TV Upgrade Box ST600 - $88 SAVE $50 @ Dick Smith
The LG's Smart TV Upgrader is a tiny box that turns any HD TV with HDMI connection into a Smart TV. You can enjoy wonderful LG Smart features such as Premium contents, LG Apps, and Web Browsing on your own TV. It's the easiest way to make your TV smarter.
You could also get a PS3

If you want to play games + blu-rays too.
I have a PS3, the app stutters/rewinds live feeds even with an ethernet connection. I have tested Apple TV and runs smoothly.
Just be aware, this unit won't pay MKV files. I can't find anything about FLV.
If it can't play MKV then I can't see the point for this price…
I believe it plays MKV files.. their tv does
Out of the 5 reviews I read, 3 didn't mention file types and 2 said it doesn't play them.
The only thing I can find saying it does is a review from TechRadar saying it had trouble playing one of the MKV files they had, assuming they had others and they worked fine.
You might be right but everything I'm finding is leaning towards not playing them. It's a hard call.
I have a LG Smart TV, Basically it is a TV with this box inbuilt.
As a review on the TV side of the software the interface is crap and the choices are slim.
We use an AppleTV2 instead which basically has the same features but has simple direct access to iTunes and allows you to control and stream direct to the device from a iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad.
Does anyone have a Xtreamer Prodigy Black (with PVR & Wifi)and is it any good?

Which is the best TV Box to play downloaded movies (must be able to play 3D movies)?
……I used this box - my 1 cent piece - kogan smart box is better value!
So this basically allows you to get all the LG Apps…such as AFL, NRL highlights/replays, iview, Bigpond TV channels, etc?
As for all this talk about ATV…boxee box is king
The LG smart Software is not quite up to the mark,
You cannot log in into You tube, Queue videos , subscribe to you tube channels and the like.
The browser is ok, but will not run true youtube meaning you tube remote won't work. Its a second best solution,
no but it's a bargain..I want NRL/AFL replays & the Bigpond Channels…for $88 it's cheaper then any other Bigpond channel device (or foxtel).
yeah perhaps its useful for bigpond subscribers for this kind of thing. My dad would probably appreciate it
your username should be complain man not dealman..
already had a LG smart tv.. dont need this :D
Grab a copy of Plex and you'll love this box. Plex server is available for mac and windoze
Hmm unsure whether to get this or Apple TV to watch NHL Gamecenter Live on my TV. Time to investigate.
