Bradshaw's recommendation: Get a Pivos Xios media centre;
http://www.pivosgroup.com/xios.html
It's a tiny box, about the size of two packs of cards and plugs into your HDMI socket. You run XBMC on it and stream the media from CIFS shares on computers around the house. I've got one here and I'm blown away by it. It runs the same software as my home theatre PC at home, but it's TINY. It's got B/G/N wifi inside it, too.
Not sure if they send to the UK, but I don't mind picking one up here and sending it on when I get back next week.
