Gonk,

I just read your review of the new blu ray player...thanks for that, that was really useful. In it, you mentioned this:


The BDP-83 also supports playback of an assortment of video files such as DIVX, AVI, AVCHD, MKV, and even VOB files from DVD's. These files can be stored on data discs (CD-R or DVD-R) or on external storage devices connected via USB (either USB memory sticks, USB hard drives or USB memory card readers). I have not made significant use of those, although I have played back some different formats using DVD-R media, a large USB hard drive, and several different USB memory sticks


Does that mean that I could use the bd83 with a large USB hard drive hooked to a USB port as a video server? If so, what sort of user interface does it offer for browsing and selecting movies stored on the hard drive?
