Hi, I'm currently in need of a media player. But all I want is a cheap, basic one. All I need it to do is support every video type imaginable and have a remote. I don't care if it comes with a built in hard drive or if it supports HD. Any suggestions?

Also, I found this one on eBay. What do you guys think about it:

get an xbox and a remote dvd kit.. comes in under £20 .. then softmod it (free) .. build a bigger hdd from the softmodded one.. or stream to it.. cheap and simple, but struggles with this HD bollocks a little.

I think that one you link is a bit of a scam.. nobody seriously wants rmvb capability from a media player.. the files are low def garbage and look just awful..

Look for x264 and divx/xvid capabilities and you should be good.. NOBODY seriously uses rmvb (or flv) for any actual fullscreen watchable content... and if you come across it it is simple enough to convert to a usable format anyway.. with a little knowledge

I have a modded Xbox 1 and that is what I have been using but it's like the loudest thing you'll ever heard. I also have a 360 and PS3 which I do use to stream in another room. The 360 I have though does not have wireless capabilities and the PS3 needs to stay in the room with the HDTV for blu-rays. I want this media player for another room with no internet that just has an SD tube tv. the one i linked to says it plays pretty much every file type, including MKV which is the main one i need.
