The setup Willem describes is just so cheap and flexible, it is amazing more people don't catch on.

Mine does full 1080, without any noticeable (to me in any case) deterioration in quality.
"Cheap" does not begin to describe the value for money this represents, and even extends to the little HP Proliant Microservers. They are excellent value for money, and are ideal to partner with Android Mini PCs. I picked them up at US$150 a piece, and threw 4 1Tb Seagate drives into each, raided for resilience. Total cost per server probably was not more than US$300 complete.
