    So, my Kiss DP-1500 (the DVD player with Ethernet and Divx support) just died, and before I go out and buy another one, I'd like to see if anyone here can recommend a better player. What I really need is:

    Multi-region DVD
    Decent Divx support
    Ethernet for streaming Divx from a PC

    and for it not to be a modded games console.

    Kiss DVD players are the only ones I've been able to find so far. The one I had until recently is:

    http://www.kiss-technology.com/?p=dp1500&v=users

    Its a little fiddly, but by and large it worked pretty well.

    And if there is nothing else, does anyone know where I can buy one of htese in Dublin? (bought my last one online, and had to wait ages for it)

    Cheers!

    Cheers Hob-it, it looks like what I'm after, but its more expensive than the Kiss, so I may just go buy another of those.

    BrianD, the Kiss model is about EUR170 on Pixmania.com.

    Unless there's another option?

    this looks class - although it does seem too good to be true.... i was waiting to see a bloody flux capasitor along side the slot that gives you free money.

    has anyone actually got this machine and if so where did they locate it.

    I never knew about these either. Great idea. I guess there would need to frequent firmware updates to keep up with all the new codecs etc?
