I've had a popcorn hour A110 for a couple of years and can say hands down that it way out performs an Apple TV running Boxee. It can handle everything from avi to wmv and does it pretty well. It even has a bit torrent client.
You can stream from a network share or copy the content to the hard drive. I'm not sure what the bit rate limits are on each format but it does a good job decoding many different formats.
I'll agree that the streaming from the internet is a little quirky. They used to have a youtube channel but it no longer works. For the price, it is a good solution and there is a pretty strong community behind it.
