Cheapest HD multimedia player

[boramk]

I already have a Zioncom Playtime, but I need one that can do HD movies...
Also can they read .mkv?

I don't know of any hardware players that can read the MKV format .. yet. It is a fairly new format and uses higher processing power (pushing up the cost of the device).

Come to think of it, I don't know of many hardware players that can handle HD at all (other than HD DivX format).

I will be interested to see what kind of replies you get.

or, why not just build a half decent HTPC box, and then it will play anything and everything...

The TVIX 6500-A will play it, but it's pricey, around R4,500 excl Hard Drive, but i do believe it can play without a Hard Drive when networked.

...or wait for the mvix MX-800-HD...but in all likelihood will be pricey as well..

good luck
