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



I've got several Patriot Box Office HD Media Players:

http://j.mp/pboamazon

They support reading from USB drives, HDD (2.5" SATA), samba shares
and
UPnP streaming.  I've not found anything they don't play yet. I don't
think they support bluray ISO images but they do support DVD ISO images.

Regards,
Mark.
