Normally, I schedule my movie downloads during the night and watch them next day on TV by connecting laptop and tv through svideo cable. But now, there is a new product in the market which allows us to watch videos stored in our flash drive on Television. Flash TV is a new product from Amkette which plays digital media files like avi, mpeg,wma, rmvb videos and mp3 music files stored in external medias on TV. You don’t anymore need to carry your computer around for playing those downloaded movies.
Hook up the flash tv to your television and insert the USB drive. Once plugged in all the movies, pictures, songs and other media files are displayed on the screen. Flash TV comes with a remote control using which you can surf through the flash drive contents in ease. You can select which movie to play, skip chapters, switch subtitles on or off, adjust the viewing size from widescreen to standard, change the angles and much more.

Check out the WD TV Live. It is a far superior product.

It will be a good one to have with you. It will be a good one to get rid of keeping the computer always together.
Checked out the WD product - may be better but MUCH more expensive...
is it possible that in future its firmware be updated so that new format can be played?
because in 2 years these format may no longer be popular.
Yes, Mp4 is not played on this, and also, from the tech head I did not get a proper answer for this. He told me to re convert to Divx/avi format to view the files/videos.
Please, if your requirement is for Mp4 please dont go for this product.
