i have dishnetwork and bell xpressvu but both of them are not HD, cuz im a person that pays for nothing

and the good HD boxes for DN cant be hacked.. so i stick with the SD boxes.. i rarely ever watch TV live... and games in HD are SICK!!!

ps... calm down buddy

I never watch TV live (unless I have friends over for a sporting event).

I use a Phillips DVP-5960 DVD player w/USB port for downloads. It upconverts to HD (a newer one, 5986 I think, does 1080p). I mostly watch the 350MB downloads too and don't even use a PC with the big-screen....yet.

It's just weird hearing someone has such a nice TV and for the most part, it's just wasted and used for the occassional 360 game.

I recommend you at least get the 5986. It's only about $70 and it'll make your downloads look better (and your DVDs).

Btw, what am I calming down for?

You should be shot is all.

does that dvp/usb dvd player support xvid/divx and playing from an external HDD? i curllently have a the philips 642+5190, also is it able to be unlocked like the other two models?

Yes and yes. The external hdd must be FAT32, however

and it doesn't support long filenames.

To my knowledge no dvd player supports long filenames....yet. Not even the one from Oppo Digital.

i think the max number of characters is 14, from what i have seen, don't have to rename much the scene is good at how they name files.
