Since nobody else gave this a review, I decided to try it out to see how it was, since it was something that I needed. A media player that you can hook-up directly to the TV, plug in an external hard drive (WD Passport was what I used) and play any video on your hard drive; it does list a bunch of file formats that are supported.

After I hooked everything up, it took a pretty long time for the hard drive to load and the icon to pop-up on screen, which was okay, I didn't mind, but once I tried to play a video, it kept skipping (like a bad record). I thought it was the video, but this happens to whatever video I try to play, I've even tried with 2 other hard drives. It seems the media player just isn't powerful enough to play videos from the hard drive.

Buy this product at your own risk!

I got this at the 100 price instead of the 300. Its not worth 300 but for $100 it works pretty good. I dont know why the other reviewer had trouble. I use mostly sandisk 8gb usbs on this and they mostly work great. It might play six or seven episodes though and then on one it the audio and video will get off. I can't really figure out why but I think some avis are more prone to this. Still I've saved at least $100 in not having to write the much larger sized tv-dvd type disks especially for shows I might not bother to watch again for years. An 8 gig will hold a half a seasons episodes at the average 350 mb size. When I have trouble with an episode I usually just go refresh my stick, removing watched episodes and adding others and then it plays okay again. Sometimes the whole player will glitch, causing me to get up and power off and power on. Still this only happens ever 20 episodes or so. It does not seem to recognize the mp4s though and I use a converter to change everything to avi format. The picture format is cute, you can burn a stick of nice photos and the tv will sit there and cycle through the photos, or you can stick it on one pretty photo instead of a blank ugly screen when not in use. If only there was a living-aquarium option!

I just got this, I connected it to my HD tv using an HDMI cable, then I connected my external USB HHD to it and start browsing for videos, music and pictures, everything played great.
If want to use this mostly for DIVX video make sure the videos are nor bigger than 720 P, otherwise like in the first review the video will skip.
All my movie rips are 480 P and 720 P those play GREAT!
