Is there a really decent one that people would recommend?

My WII is getting a bit long in the tooth playing Netflix content and
it's Youtube and iPlayer apps are a bit rubbish.

Given how well my phone works, I'd like to replace the WII with an
Android set-top unit.

However there are *many* and I find it impossible to decide if any of
them are actually decent and reliable.

I could be persuaded to go AppleTV if that is truly better?

What I'm after is Netflix (running through unblock-us, but I handle that
in my local DNS server so should not be a problem), Youtube, iPlayer,
ideally some other channels' versions of iPlayer.

Remote operation from an Android phone would be cute but not essential.

WIFI definatelt, wired network nice to have.

Cheers!

Controlled over the network from my android phone.


I think OpenELEC is a pre-canned distribution of this.
