Can someone recommend a low cost media player for me please?

I need it to feed wmv files saved from Powerpoint 2010 to a hdtv with good quality.

    Videolan's VLC is free and Open Source, and works well for me.

    Sorry. I meant a device not software. I apologise for not making myself clear.

    I guess that you are looking to a permanent fixture then, and does it need to be wifi enabled or usb enabled for the presentations.

    My son has just tried with his first generation Western Digital media player without success. The file was not recognised.

    Any more suggestions please?
