I picked up one of these today, it allows you to view Divx/Xvid movies and pics on your TV.
You can purchase a hard drive along with it or use a Memory Stick.

Seems to work alright so far and allows me to NOT have to use my computer to interface with the TV.

Can you stream to it?   I actually am looking at the Asus O play,  you can do the same, connect sticks or drives, but can also stream from a server (which I have put all my movies on now)   My xbox will stream the xvid/divx and the microsoft formats, but I have some h264 Blue rays that I would love to stream with the Asus,  xbox won't play those.


Popcorn media player is another,  I think that one can run programs too

No I do not believe it does, I think I saw those there too.
More money than the $85 I spent.

This is tiny and will be great to move around the house and camper Smiley

yeah, the reviews for the asus say it's bigger than most, but the files that it plays are more..also the streaming...but no internal storage.  89 on amazon now.  Looks like I have another one to compare....thanks!

A little more money and not on the market yet, but check out Boxee... Won Last Gadget Standing at CES. The software is free and available for Mac, Linux and WIndows - you don't need the Boxee to run it. The software is the best I've seen out there and it's open source so watch for heavy development. Boxee itself would be a nice cheap unit to hook to your TV. It will stream (wifi) from your home network shares or from a local disk.

I'm running Boxee on a Shuttle X50 all-in-one touch screen mounted in my kitchen and it's everything I wanted out of an appliance PC. I already dumped my MythTV stuff in favor of Boxee, as soon as the hardware comes out, some of my MediaPortal stuff is going bye-bye as well.
