DivX player - just from USB, not DVD ?

sallen2

Hi
Is there a DivX player that just reads a USB memory stick, and doesn't include a DVD disc player ?
I would like to play DivX movies through my TV from memory rather than writing to disc first
thanks

how about setting up a modded xbox and streaming them over a network?

I don't have an xbox, but I do have a network, ie a 4 port router with wireless.
Can I use that in some way ?
thanks

I've seen a scart freeview plug with a USB adaptor and that could play DivX.. that's the closest i've seen.

Not too bad for 35 quid... bet it could be found cheaper if you look hard

They didn't want a DVD player as part of it

I don't need the disc player bit, was hoping for a small unit to just take a memory card
thanks

you are right - I found this review
SanDisk's Sansa TakeTV flash memory-based player comes in 4GB and also an 8GB flavour, which can hold up to ten hours of video. It is available today in the US starting at just $99.99 (£49) and a UK release is expected in the near future
not sure if its released yet

I have two of these they work with memory cards, USB memory sticks or hard drives.

Could you not use a video sender unit from your PC to your TV, like this one
