Where possible I use get_iplayer to download in HD format and then often watch it on my PC. I have, however, an HD TV with a HDMI socket. To watch digital content I have a Xenta HDMI Upscaling Mini Media Player Divx Upscaling HDMI USB/SD (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/225049) which can play .avi files and the like from a USB stick. Unfortunately it does not seem to cope with the MP4 files produced by the get_iplayer download of HD content. If I want to watch stuff on my TV rather than my PC I can of course use ffmpeg to transcode it and burn it on to DVD but then it wont be HD anymore (will it?). My question: How do the good folks here watch HD content to best effect? Is there something simple I can do, or do I need to invest (my limited funds) in new technology?
