We have tons of home video tapes but they are such a nuisance to store and locate. I know there are lots of digital video libraries for PC’s. That’s not what I’m looking for.
I was wondering whether a device exists similar to this:

But, rather than selecting videos from a commercial on-demand service, you can load up your OWN video files onto it and have a nice, easy to navigate, totally self-contained library (no PC, no network, zero). It would include A/V and USB/Firewire inputs, COULD be networked (to pull files from a PC, but then they get stored in the device — so the PC doesn’t need to be on), build-in hard drive space, and connections for external USB storage drives as needed.
But something super simple to use, just like any other on-demand service.
All I’ve seen is digital library devices for home theaters that connect to services, and of course they all have ongoing fees to just download and view commercial movies.
What I’m talking about is a non-PC-based self-contained storage device for user-created home videos, connected to your TV, that you can navigate with a remote.
Does any such device exist? What is it called? Can you give me some links for examples?
Thanks!
