Set top box that supports UPnP and Podcasts

I am using my Amahi Home Server to serve my digital media using mini-dlna application to my PS 3 in the family room. That works very well, and I would like to find a smaller appliance similar to an AppleTV that can stream from my home server, while also being able to stream podcasts like the AppleTV can to the television in my bedroom. I can't use the AppleTV as it doesn't support UPnP, and neither does the Roku box. I also want it to be able to stream from Netflix as well. Does anyone know of an device that will do that?

You can actually use UPnP with the Roku by using the Plex Media Streamer. I noticed Amahi is running on top of Linux so I did a quick search and what do you know Amahi supports Plex: www.amahi.org­/apps­/plex­-media­-server

In my uses with Plex on Roku it's been really good. Only once did I have a hiccup in the month I've been using it. The speed is pretty solid and the quality has been more than fine for how I'm using it.
