Western Digital WD TV Mini

The Western Digital WD TV Mini is a tuner designed to transmit digital media content from any USB device — camcorders; digital cameras; or flash, external, and hard-disc drives — directly onto a TV screen. It connects to a unit through a USB interface and then transmits content to a compatible television via either composite or component A/V cables. Included is a simple-to-operate remote control for navigator smoothly through all the available entertainment options, whether they are picture galleries, music sound clips, or full-fledged videos. In fact, the WD TV Mini was engineered to handle all the most popular formats available: AVI, MPEG, JPEG, and MP3.
