I haven't seen anything quite like this before. Read through the site to see how significantly it differs from other desktop media players out there.

O DATA's brand-new LinkPlayer allows you to playback various formatted files connect from any PC and/or Mac on the home network to a Big screen TV with a remote control. Moreover digital camera and USB memory can be connected directly through a USB 2.0/1.1 port to display files on a Big screen TV. AVeL LinkPlayer is compatible with Windows Media Video(r) Video (WMV9), DivX(r) HD, and MPEG2-TS (HD 720p). HD mode allows you to enjoy pictures and movies in High-Definition (Video Up to 1080i / Photo Up to 2048x1532).

The price is totally reasonable. I can't wait to read a review of this thing.

Here's a link to the product page.
