@TheMburu<div><br></div><div>My 2 suggestions (since I have the same exact model as you do):</div><div><ol><li>Get a <a href="http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=330">WD TV Live</a> media player - you can hook it up to your telly via HDMI and it can play stuff that&#39;s on your LAN or Internet - and supports all major formats - I think Wash or Alvin has discussed this before on the list.</li>

<li>Upgrade your telly -  mine&#39;s a Samsung and it plays all kinds of formats via an external hdd - it has issues playing a few mkv files with non-standard dimensions but I got that fixed by setting up a DLNA server (<a href="http://www.tvmobili.com">tvMobili</a>) on my laptop (ubuntu)  - and hooking it up via Ethernet. So I torrent on my laptop into a DLNA-accessible folder  - and voila - I can watch it on the telly. No messy file transfers and such. It supports wireless but I haven&#39;t gone to look for the USB accessory.</li>

</ol><div>I use the latter option as I had the tv before I got the Sony - hence I really just use the HT system for playing DVDs and for audio output though an optical cable. I recommend the first option as it&#39;s cheaper.</div>
