It's great watching downloaded shows now on my 42" HD Plasma.

What a great idea! (takes look at Philips)

Hmmm....does the Philips play XviD? I saw this player for $60 at Circuit City.

Wow! I'd not heard of that but now I want a DivX player with a usb port.

I usually burn whole series to dvdr or if it's a series that I can't wait til the end of the season to watch, like Prison Break, Lost, Heroes or BSG, I download them as they are released and put them on a cd/dvdrw to watch on the big telly.

I don't think I've ever watched a film and only a few tv episodes here and there on my monitor.

That Philips does sound tasty with USB but i cant find it in any UK stores... i think im going to go for one of those 3.5" hard drives multimedia things with a SCART but i dont think it would be any good with HD media :-(

I use the Philips divx/xvid player connected to a Yamaha RX-V2600 upscaler then projected onto a 120 inch screen via a panasonic ae900u high def projector

i have a toshiba that plays divx and upconverts to hd, i am kind of a hd nut so the whole upconverts thing isnt workin for me but my divx files on are amazing it will play a cdr with one or two or a dvdr with several. cost me about 60 bucks at costco would recomend it to anyone.

I'm not too fickle about my viewing pleasure, I just burn to dvd and watch on tv thru the dvd player.
