In addition, the LaCinema Premier can also double up as a USB 2.0 external hard drive, throwing in a full set of AV options into the fray including composite, S-Video and component video, analog stereo, optical and coaxial surround-capable digital jacks. You're meant to fill up the hard drive with all your digital entertainment media, hook it up to a TV and enjoy. Too bad there is no HDMI output as everyone moves a step up towards high definition TVs. The LaCinema Premier is available in 500GB, 750GB and 1TB varieties that retail for $250, $350 and $500, respectively. Strange how DivX support is missing though.&quot;<br /><br /></em><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/500/dht/auto/1203295747.usr10.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br />Looks like a nice option for those that don't want to go with a Media Center or extender in their living room.&nbsp; If they tack on the DivX support at some point, they could have a winner.

Has HDMI output and DivX support it doesn't look like much but people say it works OK.

Anyhow I'm trying to find something like the LaCinema or the above Hour A-100 for my living room.
I was thinking about Media Center PC, but it's really expensive to have a really small and quiet PC just for streaming video and watching pictures on my TV (my music is handled by Slim Player).
