I think probably the simplest solution is something along the line of the Iomega Screenplay

It is also probably the cheapest device designed to do this.

Have a home theater, but some of your favorites are on your computer, and you don't want to be tied down? Got a video presentation, but don't want to lug around a video player? Iomega's ScreenPlay TV link comes to the rescue.

Very portable, it plugs into your TV or entertainment center and plays your digital content directly from your USB drive, your flash drive, or an Iomega REV drive.


Not familiar with this but it seems similar
Western Digital TV HD Media Player

The sling catcher

Is a device designed specifically to allow you to watch files from your computer over the network (as well as from a sling player you may have elsewhere to sling the feed from your Cable or satellite box or dvd player over the internet)


Several other options designed to stream media from PC to tv over network (wired or wireless) but I can't think of them just now.
