Well it has been a long time since I posted anything to this blog, been busy I guess and haven't bought too much new tech.
This little gadget is fantastic and it is really small. I looked at other units that do the same thing, but the price was double and their size was almost triple the size of this little unit. Don't let the size fool you because this is a great gadget.
Ok, so you are wondering what this actually does. You can hook up an external hard drive/SD Card/USB Flash Drive and play these formats: Avi, Mpg, Mpeg, , Mp4, Vob, Dat, Asf, Wmv, Wav, Ac3, Mp3 and Jpg/Jpeg.
I travel a lot and I miss most of the TV shows so when I get home from the trip I end up downloading the TV shows, and then put them on my external hard drive and connect that to this gadget and that to my TV using HDMI cable (not included), or the standard A/V cable which is included.
The menu shows Movies/Music/Photos. I haven't tried the photos or music, but I am sure it works just as good as the movies play.
A remote control is included and has fast forward/fast rewind and skip forward/skip rewind.
I purchased a DVD Recorder with hard drive that is able to connect a hard drive, but only up to a 2 gig thumb drive or SD card, this unit lets you connect any size hard drive or thumb drive.
I paid around $39.99 at Walmart Canada.
