First - thanks for a great forum! - I've sussed out heaps of good stuff with sky & broadband

I'm wanting to get a dvd player with a USB connection.
I had an old DSE player that had one, & used it a lot.
great for watching downloaded movies/TV shows on an external HDD.
but as to be expected from a cheap player - it broke after a couple of years.
-DSE tell me that model has been discontinued
-The philips models only play music & pictures on USB not video
-I saw some at the local foodtown a while ago, but they are out of stock.
-I dont really want a modded Xbox or have to hookup the PC
I've looked for a while and cannot find any around - anyone know of a suitable player for me??
Thanks & happy new year!
