Jon:

We've had great luck here in the States with Roku, which I believe is  
based on your side of the Atlantic.  Their staff has been very, very  
helpful.  Programming is flexible and pretty darn easy (at its  
easiest its done with an excel file.)  Programming I've installed  
several units in the last couple of years and they run unattended.   
You might want to search the archives of this list serv....there was  
discussion of this very issue in the last couple of months.
