Hi,
I want to watch my divx files etc. on my T.V. but its just not feasable cos they are so far apart! :no:
So was looking for an alternative options.
Maybe Looking to buy a portable HDD that play divx files straight from HDD
like these two...
LACIE Silverscreen
RIMAX HDDivx
I never knew they existed until recently... are there any others?
Or alternatively Is there a better way for me?
Thanks
p.s. by the way I have a NVida Geforce TI-4600 128mb Graphics card.
why not get a 60 dollar dvd player ?

Yeah I got a divx player, a Yamada 6100 but just fed up with burning all those discs to watch them... then some don't work :no: .Quote:

dvdr's or less than .40c
how expensive are those hard drive media players? 'cause, there are non-drive players which can stream things from a Windows pc over ethernet, for only about $200 USD... which may be perfectly adequate for your needs.
there's this... http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=318
and this... http://www.linksys.com/extend/
an Xbox game console is also a good choice at $150 USD, since it's easy to apply a hack to it (no mucking around with the nuts & bolts: you just need a memory card, a USB memory card writer, and a particular game which is able to boot the hacked save file), install Xbox Media Center, and essentially have a small-ish multimedia PC for a low price in your tv room.

apparently Microsoft has also taken a cue from the hackers and released a similar thing officially, which can be used without voiding the warranty... http://www.xbox.com/en-US/hardware/x...erextender.htm
You might want to look into one of these things... I'm thinking about getting one of these
