Default Any DVD player that can play off an USB hard disk

Hi,
I am looking for a DVD player that will play all downloadable formats that may have an Hard disk built-in or a USB2 / esata port that can play of a USB hard disk

Just gotten tired of burning DVD's each week........

If its something that can record TV programs too...that would be great.

within 20k
Thanks

There is no player that fits your wish list. Closest you can get is a DivX capable DVD Player with USB port.

You are better off building a HTPC, my friend...

He is looking for a player which can play all the formats that are available on net. I don't think there's any DVD player available yet which can do that, except the few that i have mentioned...................

Anyway a new Passion Company DVD player with USB support is available for 1.4k on futurebazaar site........ [Yes it plays all the divx & xvid files only]...

No RMVB, *.TS, High Bitrate AVI files, *.MKV, *.MOV etc..............
