This looks interesting, a $120 NON-NETWORKED media player that plays all kinds of files up to 1080p HD. I don't really like the idea of having a spinning hard drive in the media room, but this might be useful for a kind of sneaker-net using USB thumb drives. A 16GB drive could hold a whole season of divx shows or several full-length movies. It can also play captured HD streams (.ts and .tp) from the HD tuner in my PC. This would save me a LOT of time and trouble because I currently have to encode the HD files to standard-def DVD format and burn them to DVD-R in order to watch them on the big HDTV in the media room. With this I could just move the raw files onto a thumb drive and play them on the WD.
