I'm looking for a cheap, reliable media player that will play MKV, MP4 and FLV (the formats the card slot on the DVD player won't handle). It's to connect to an old CRT telly with only SCART input. It would be good if it came with a decent remote.
Can anyone recommend the Sumvision Cyclone Micro 2+ for the above situation? Is there something similarly priced (=A327 @ eBuyer) that's better? I don't really want to spend hundreds on a media player with a hard drive.
Are there any cheap DVD players that now handle files other than just DivX/avi? The one I have plays MPEG4 (or maybe just H264) but only if it's in an avi wrapper (which I thought was outside the spec for avi files anyway).
Are there any high street chains that stock lower end stuff like the Cyclone rather than copping for online P&P? I've only ever come across more expensive stuff in Currys etc.
Thanks for any info.
