I recently got the Western Digital TV Media Player. Just hookup a thumb drive or hard drive via usb and you can watch till your hearts content. That is all the legally bought movies

The WDTV is a pretty cool box. One of my co-workers brought it in and we tested it with some movies I encoded in various formats (xvid/mp4/avi) and all of them played without issue. For a small box that does decoding, decent interface and for like 99 bucks you can't go wrong. The ONLY thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't have network access to the drives you attach so you could drag/drop new media on to them.

Additionally... "backing up" DVD's, even if you own them, is illegal because the decoder is stripping the CSS encryption. I remember this being a big deal like 10 years ago. It's a stupid law and I actually don't remember if it was deemed "fair use" or not.

yup figure it will go nice with the new tv plus rather than burn dvds or hooking up my laptop to the tv the thumbdrive / extrenal drive will be easier
