help with watching movies on a hdtv!

[sneaky1]

I want to play movies on my usb on a hdtv, i have a hdmi cable. I found 2 devices that I am not sure if it will allow me to do this, or which one is better, I don't trust wireless streaming that much either.

Which one is better?

Buy the Netgear Digital Entertainer Live Media Player at TigerDirect.ca

Buy the Philips DVP3560/F7 DVD Player at TigerDirect.ca

???
whats this for, i don't even have a western digital product, I am simply asking for which of the two options i said is better...

Hi..

before i say what product will be the best for you can i ask what file format you are wanting to watch... Are we talking standard Divx, 700Mb Films, or HD Movies?

 

[sneaky1]

basically all movies are 700mb or 1.3gb .avi files. That could be SD or like 720p res.

I highly recommend the WDTV Live, I have two of them and they work great, I have never had an issue with playing any file

the thing is i am not looking to get it from the internet, i want to go to a store, as well i want the price to be around 40-70, and get it locally which i am in mississuaga ontario canada. Can I get the WDTV with these conditions?

WDTV is what I use for watching downloaded movies it's really a great device ,you can dowwnload movies to your usb drive or external drive and watch what ever movies want ,you can watch in a bunch of formats avi,divx,mkv and others.This will be a good pick,this can also few pictures on your hdtv and plays mp3 musics also.
