Hmmm, actually that is pretty cool
The only problem is that on the occasions I want to add things to one of the hard drives I'd have to move the whole thing over to my computer.

You'll have to do that anyway unless you get a NAS with a media player attachment.
Does your TV only accept USB or does it have an ethernet port?

It does have ethernet, but as I was saying to GOnz I'm not gonna be running cables from my router to anything on the other side of the fireplace.

If you can't run a cable, then you'll have to move the caddy to copy stuff.
Or get a caddy with wireless built in but they're shit on the whole.

What Gonz suggested is probably the best option for me at this stage.
But I'll think about getting a NAS or something if we ever move and get somewhere with carpets where I can hide cables.

True, that's the simplist solution so far.

Especially since a 500GB drive will happily contain pretty much everything I've ever downloaded.
And I'm gonna have 2.

If you want to lend me one, I can completely fill it up with movies/telly.
I got shitloads of stuff, just drop it off with me for a week and I'll leave it copy'n'pasting on my media pc. Just give me a ballpark of what kind of thing you like.
