Adapter plays HD files off of any hard drive

It’s priced at $69 which seems a bit steep mostly because I’m going to assume that the on-screen interface is average (at best). The idea is still intriguing though especially if you have a bunch of media files spread out over multiple storage mediums. Video is output at 1080i and the adapter can read MPEG AVI MP4 VB and DiVX files so codec support looks pretty robust. You also get a remote control and AV cables and the adapter doubles as a USB external connection for hooking your drive up to your computer.
