DivX player - just from USB, not DVD ?

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

    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.

    Check this out: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=221102&doy=5m1&C=SO&U=strat15

    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

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