Looking for portable hard disk media player
Hi
I'm planning to get a portable hard disk drive that can also function as a media player when I connect it to the TV. The idea is that if I connect the hard disk to the TV using a HDMI or audio video connection it can automatically play the files (avi, mpeg) etc that I've downloaded from the net. I've seen a couple of brands around but can anyone recommend me a reasonably good brand and where to get it in Doha? Thanks!
Hi there! If you want, I am selling my Two Month old Western Digital TV media player, complete with box and updated firmware. I bought it for 400, I am now selling it 25% less, for 300QR only. I'm a gamer and opt to buy additional memory card for my laptop that's why I thought I'd just sell this media player.
This one is a stand alone media player, you have to connect a separate portable hard drive or a USB flash drive containing your media files. I thought it was practical when I bought it, thinking that if my portable hard drive crashes, I can still use other storage drives to play videos, music, etc.

I can recommend WD (Winchester Digital) Media player and WD USB hard disk, both available in Carrefour (Villagio).
Media player costs around 500QR and 500GB Hard disk also costs around the same. But if you want to store lot of movies you can go for 1Tera byte hard disk. These hard disks are incredibly small and efficient.
This is the way to the future. You can get rid of your dvd players, home theater PC and other junk once you get Media player and Hard disk. There is Argosys media player with built in hard disk, but the review about this product is not good and worst of all, it does not have a HDMI interface.
thanks - so how much should i spend on a reasonable good one (not the expensive type) and any recommendations on what brand can i get?
well there are plenty all over doha, but i guess you are getting what you paying for,so it depends mainly on your budget!
