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?0

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 ?
thanks0 -
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 hard0 -
They didn't want a DVD player as part of it0

I don't need the disc player bit, was hoping for a small unit to just take a memory card
thanks0 -

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
