Re: How are you guys watching shared media at home?

This isn't really shared media in the way you're asking, but I think it's pretty cool...

I have a Pioneer DV-410V DVD player that will play divx files off a thumb drive. It will up-scale content to 1080p. It's hooked up to my 55-inch 1080p LCD TV.

I missed last week's episode of Fringe so I located a torrent and put it on a thumb drive.

According to the guys on AVSForum, the highest it can play is 720x480(4:3) and 624x352(16:9).

Coincidentally, the Fringe divx file was exactly 624x352 and it looked surprisingly good on the the big screen. I guess that's a testament to the up-scaler in the DVD player.

I purchased it a few years ago. Here's the current model, the DV-420V...
