I saw this thing somewhere in the past few weeks. It's an HD thing that lets you watch computer media files on your HDTV directly from a hard drive, without needing a computer.

I don't remember where I saw it. Woot, a Best Buy ad, etc. It had a remote control, too.

I don't know if it accepts all media formats (XviD/DivX would be the best for me), and I don't know how to track it down. I've tried Googling, and come up pretty much blank. It doesn't have to be wireless or anything.

Does this ring any bells?

Yeah, saw it (potentially) at Costco today. I didn't catch the name but you may want to check out their website.

Edit to add:
this?
Costco link

Woot! was selling a Pinnacle Video Transfer today. That sounds similar to what you were referring to.
