No
Standalone ones where you can use it as a hard drive and then plug into tv to watch downloaded or ripped DVDs?
 
Yes. I have an Archos 704 wifi 160gb, linked up to the TV. I can record from the TV and play back, play files from the laptop through the TV, it has a 7" screen and is portable. Great bit of kit, but I think the one I have is a bit old and can be a bit hit and miss, but I think I have a dodgy one. Newer ones seem to be better and has more features.

Archos
 
anyone rate any wifi ones? I have a nice server that records tv and streams it round the house, but I'd like something neater than either laptops and vga cables or orb on the wii as thats clunky as hell
 
I have a wdtv player, tahes hard drives and usb thumbs - it plays almost anything costs around £60 - £70. theres a newer one out WDTVlive which has wireless built in. good threads over at avforums about them.

I have this one too, although I use it with a 360gb WD Hdd which has most of my CD collection on it; saves the hassle hunting for a specific disc.
 
I'm using one of these at the moment....

You can fit a HDD into it but it's SATA and 2.5" i.e for a laptop.

It also has a network port so you can stream movies, music and it does a pritty good job of displaying your pictures on the TV as well.

BUT,,, no support for native RAW be it Nikon or Canon or other brands so Jpegs are the order of the day here.

If you like to tinker with stuff then this box MAYBE for you.


Here is the link of rthe forums..
