Went into Currys recently, now I've had my eye on the apple tv that's new and quite hot at the moment, and I came across this little beauty. basically does the same thing. use it as a hard drive for all your movie formats or media formats and it'll hook upto your tv via hdmi and give you an interface for them. Sweet. Thank you HDMI and cheap, largely available storage and standard compliant protocol. HDMI - Handy Digital Media Interface!
