Only thing I've found is the Rokulabs HD-1000.  There is also a frontend 
for that called mythroku.  I've not had great luck with it, though.  It 
always dies/crashes after 3-4 minutes of playing.  Never was able to 
track down the source of that problem though.  Many people apparently 
have good luck with it, though.
