hello mac users!

i got a imac with an external drive with around 3TB on movies. (all 1080p)

i have been using harddrives with a simple media player to play movies on my tv. but im getting annoyed with updating my tv hd all the time. i would love to be able to stream my movies. Only thing is that i dont like the 720p cap of the apple tv. Also i would need to transcode all my videos (wich will still result in quality loss) What about using a mac mini with HDMI over a shared folder network? any other options?

anyone have expirience?

thanks!
