    Default HDD Media players, any suggestions?

    I have been wanting to buy a HDD Media player that I can hook to my plasma and watch all the avi, Xvid, Divx......... movies and series that I have been downloading, and I am very skeptical about buying just any brand, I have never had any experience with this sort of hardware, but this one caught my attention
    (the Popcorn Hour A110 NMT High Definition Media player.)
    Has anyone used one of these before or can anyone recommend a good one for me. Cheers

    ay, i luv em,
    my 1st was lappy hdd job, zalman i think, its stuffed.
    got a noontec lan\usb job now, much better, had rma on it though within 3 months.
    lan jobs are great but use nas? registered device, can be a pain, i just usb it now.
    it dont like my 80gb seagate-maybe its stuffed
    got a old 10gb seate xbox job in it atm, its fine.
    1 with good remote is the best.
    thnk,

    Initially I was looking at one of these ones, up to the $300 mark

    but that popcorn 110 sounds really good, I don't really care about ethernet, HDMI, because I am gonna get a 1T HDD and I can't hook it via HDMI as I have only 1 HDMI slot on my TV already connected to my HD DVDplayer.

    most of these things are only 12-24 warranty regardless of cost.
    thats the drama.

    I bought one of these, pretty cool unit that connects up to your network and also has the ability to mount internal HDD. When connected to the net, you can download latest firmwares. It plays all my HD downloads no problems.

    I don't have a disc in mine, I have it pointed to a 16TB NAS device. Before I got my 16TB raid setup I was streaming from my 500GB lacie drive attached to the USB on my PC. The beauty of network media players is that you don't need a HDD in them.
