At any rate, ceton is working on android for the echo right now. All you can do is wait.

HTPC Specs:
We've been playing media from file systems since the first .au, .wave and .avi files showed up on PCs over 20 years ago, and it was never described as streaming.
If I plug a USB drive into my TV, and play a video, it's not "streaming video". If I plug the same USB drive into my PC, and tell my TV to navigate to \\my-pc\USB and select the same file, it's still not "streaming video". If instead I tell my TV to talk to the Plex or Serviio or whatever service running on the PC, and get that service to open the file and process it in some way, then it's "streaming".
The point is that the only common "streaming" mechanism that supports captions is the one used by Media Center - closed captions are carried alongside the video content and can be overlaid or not by the rendering device (the Extender). DLNA doesn't do this, so the captions have to be "burned in" to the video at source, and this transcoding is both CPU intensive and tends to degrade the video quality. But, to the best of my knowledge, there isn't a mechanism for converting MKVs with SRT files to WTV files with Closed Captions.
Streaming implies that the media signal is generated on one device, and rendered by a different device across the network. Media read off a file system by the rendering device, even if the file system is on a network share, isn't "streamed".

Echo is nice product but to not get subtitle is not a nice point when in 2013 you can get a lot of "Media Center - Streamer - Player " who ever you call them, who can play any files of audio, photo, and video.....with any kind of subtitle file !
Mr Centon, you got a lot of concurence, check on the net I just order a xtreamer TV , suppse to give the same result for little money and no headache !
Streaming or not streaming ?
That's ( not ) the question !
Thank you to all of you

The xtreamer is nice but does it play back Live/Recorded TV content from a TV tuner in your HTPC?

Cable Providers in the US don't just bring you a box, they charge you abhorrent rent each month for that box. On the order of 20 to 30 USD each month so going a different route with CableCARD tuners make financial sense.

If you want to stream local content from your PC to your TV via a home network you may want to do some research at http://www.iboum.com .Plansberg wrote:I understand it.

The echo is not a streamer (yet) it is a WMC extender.
