Would like to watch BBC I player, itv player etc as well maybe as Netfix etc on my big tv not my iPad.

Can anyone recommend a set top box please?

Or, will an Xbox do it?

Could use an Apple TV to display your iPad on TV?

I use my Wii for YouTube and iplayer.

YouTube is quite cool as it syncs with the app on your phone/iPad so you can use that to browse on etc

Just buy a 'smart' DVD player, job done, also allows for 5.1 sound output to your AV.

I've got a Roku, does Netflix brilliantly, iPlayer pretty well. Only bought it for Netflix really. £50 well spent. It's about 10cm square, 2.5cm high.
