Hi, From some general digging around it seems like it can be done and people are doing it, but it seems to depend just as much on the chipset of the storage device as on the adapters used for the connection. One thing I'd suggest though (and I admit I didn't come up with the idea) is that you could go and try it in the store where you want to buy your new equipment. Most decent stores will allow this - after all, it's in their interest to have you as a happy customer. If you bought it and they hadn't let you make sure it would work beforehand, it would only backfire on the seller. Note this is more difficult with online retailers. I suggest a visit to Currys etc, where you can check things out in store. Then price compare online. _______________________________________ Have a pleasant day, Kind Regards and Best Wishes, Hussein.

From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Barbara Wilson Sent: Tuesday, December 22, 2009 10:36 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] USB/HDMI Hi Currently at home we have a separate TV and DVD. The DVD player has a USB port, so we can play movies on a USB pen which have been downloaded. We are searching around for a new telly and looking at the TV/DVD combi models. None of these appear to have a USB port, but several HDMI ports. Is there an adapter which can be purchased to allow you to plug a USB pen into an HDMI port? Or would there be another way around this to allow us to continue to play movies on the telly from the USB pen? Thanks.
