Re: Re: Which cheap media player that will accept usb hard drives

[Geoff Hargreaves <geoffwhargreaves@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I bought myself a Sumvision Cyclone Micro box for around £20.
This has a
single USB connector which accepts USB pen drives or hard drives. My
mother now uses it to play Xvid files, so it must be simple.

There are two versions out now, Mk1 version upscales to HD whilst the
Mk2 version actually plays HD content. You can connect either via HDMI
or there is a lead that goes from 3.5mm jack to composite video plugs.
There is about £10-15 difference between the two models.

The spec page is at http://www.sumvision.com.cn/searchResults.aspx?ptype=47

They say that it plays VOB but does not mention ISO. I haven't tried
either format.

to DLNA network servers, which means I can put the files on a seperate
network server, rather than using one of the two (front/back) USB ports. 
Looks great too.
