Nope. I was only pointing out that there are TV's that play MKV etc out the box. But you could connect a 1 or 2tb media harddrive to the tv and stream straight of it.
I'm sure a ethernet connected TV will be able to stream via you home network though.
I think the best idea there is the remote control that's more like a wavable mouse, so you can easily click on on-screen buttons, rather than faffing about with a remote with a myriad of keys.
(mind you, I suppose Wii thought of it first? )

I know about USB ports doing this. As more TVs have ethernet to connect to internet and NAS hard drives ; its important to know what they do play
my G 20 Panny will play Divx but not Divxplus . However this years model G 30 will play them.
