Yeah, I don't think DVD player replacement was ever one of the goals for Roku. In fact, it has a YPrPb pass-through, to allow you to continue using your standalone DVD player. Although, if you "rip" your DVDs to a file server, then the Roku's network media player capabilties come into play (and you can eliminate the annoying ads, warnings, remote lockouts, etc).

<br>Well, some more reading and I've found that the USB port is only<br>1.1.... Probably not fast enough to play DVDs anyway, so that pretty<br>much knocks it out of my wish list...<br><br>:-(<br><br>--Yan<br><br>_______________________________________________
