    Hi Folks,

    I'm looking for a hard drive that can play directly to a TV. Like this:

    http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.aspx?sku=481572&view=detailed#ProductTabs

    However, I have a good few movies backed up as .ISO files. Is there any player availible that can take these files and play them directly? I appreciate that it would take a fair but of processing power. Or, is there a format that would work directly? I do a fair bit of coverting so I don't really want to go down the DVD to MPEG/DiVX route, it takes too long

    Thanks!

    I have the Western Digital media player and a Dvico Tvix 5100, they play everything I throw at them! My Western Digital doesnt play DTS audio but apparently the new ones do!

    Another popular choice is the popcorn hour media player.

    I don't know the brand you linked to but I know the popcorn hour has a huge web following which is handy for advice!

    Check out here and here and here!
