but it will also stream your own media from your PC to your TV.
The Playstation 3 will also do this if you happen to have one. Just install PS3 Media Player or Servio (both free) on the PC to connect. 
I use both PlayON and PS3 Media Server. There are some very rare instances where the media I've, uh, acquired  won't play properly in PS3MS but will in PlayON or the other way around.
Edit: Oh and Cawlin the reason that PlayON needs IE is that it needs the flash plugin hooks. When you're streaming web content via PlayON you're basically using IE's engine to grab the content and "play" it, then PlayON streams the output to your TV.

Do you happen to know what are the competing devices to that one? (just for the sake of comparison)

That's the competitor that I went with because it plays local media as well. I will add, though, that their ability to support their product has been subpar. They promised a Netflix app and did finally deliver it, about two months after their promised delivery date. Also they don't have a Hulu app.

The wii is the worst of the 3 for streaming and stuff. The 360 is in the middle and can handle your own .avi and .mp4 files. The ps3 can handle pretty much anything.

This.
I don't bother with the xbox any more though, now that I have my laptop connected to the tv & surround sound. I don't think I'd even bother trying if I had a wii. Looks way too clumsy.

Xbox cannot handle .avi, unless you mean your personal home videos (i have no idea, but I doubt it). It can handle .wmv's though. You need TVersity or something like it. I don't like the UI for tversity, however you can just do very simple console commands for it. Like
/mshare d:/tv
which just adds everything in your tv folder to the server. That plus the RESTART function and I've only had to open the UI once when I installed, to clear out the junk it started with.

I've found Hulu Plus for xbox to be highly over rated. I recently canceled my subscription to it.
