Just around the time that I started thinking about this, Apple came out with its Apple-TV... but I want something a little more versatile.

I'd like to know if something like the following exists (I'd imagine it does), and I'd like the general name for this type of media gadget.

I basically just want a box that is like the Tivo/Apple TV. I don't NEED it to be connected to any kind of satellite service. I just want it to have (1) internal hard drive space, (2) USB or firewire ports so that I can add additional hard drive space via external hard drive, (3) I want it to have a digital interface guide, just like the Tivo boxes do, and (4)I want it to be remote-controller operable.

With this, I'd be able to store as much media content (video/music) as I want, and I'd be able to scroll through my files via Tivo-like digital graphics.

Hopefully I've explained that well enough for everyone to envision.

Depends on your budget...

It doesn't have an internal HDD, but you can attach external ones. It is a great player, you can stream wirelessly, great community support.

If you want a real tank, and got the money, you can go for PopcornHour

You can install additional internal HDD, even a blu-ray burner.
