Is this true.

Thanks

However if you don't then it is an expensive media player As a standalone player I would recommend the Sumvision MKV Enclosure has played everything I have thrown at it. (And it is only around £80)

I want to be able to plu in an external HDD to something that will be able to play back through the TV. Also want to have HDMI socket on it.

You just need a DVI to HDMI cable of suitable length.
(and possibly audio leads if the PC's speakers are inadequate or poorly-located.)

I use mine wired connected to one of my PC's via nfs shares. Or you can put a drive in it and load it up, which I did on holiday with an external drive with more stuff on it (I only have a 200Gb in the player).
Look at <a href="www.scan.co.uk">scan</a> or ebuyer and looks for it.

It works very well.
I'll see if I can plug one of my external drives into later and see what happens.
If it helped click the thumb
If it fixed it click 'This fixed my problem'

I'm quite keen to get the PS3 anyway but I don't want to compromise the actual ability to play media, maybe the MKV would be more suitable.
I'm looking forward to hearing what happens when adiewoo plugs in an external drive - thanks.

Can you view HD content via the external drive through your TV?
What drive do you have.
