Ok, although it’s not the most economical solution, what I currently have setup is an 750 Gb Mybook attached to an Xbox 360 Elite. I have also gotten the Xbox to read files from a flash drive, and a DVD formatted as Data.

I believe that the lower end xbox (arcade version runs about $250) should also run, but I haven’t personally tried it.

As a forewarning, xbox does not currently read .mkv, but it does read most .avi, divx, MP3 & MP4 formats. I plays music, movies, and pictures.

If anyone knows of a cheaper way, please let me know, as I have a second TV that I want to connect a hdd to.
