which 12v power supply did you purchase?I've just received from amazon, a Sumvision cyclone 2+ mini. Works fine with my 1tb passport drive with a couple of hundred films on it. Just waiting for the 12V power supply lead to come but works fine off mains.
under £20 from Amazon with next day delivery.
I just need to put some more films on now.

The vast majority of media players are 5v 2amp hence my query.Mel, think the output from that would only be at 5V so probably wouldn't be sufficient.
Ah, thought it would be 12v like our tv, sorry.The vast majority of media players are 5v 2amp hence my query.

Yes I'm interested in knowing which 12v power supply you purchased also
Just to mention that there you'll find cheaper ones than those if you take Sumvision out of the description. Sorry ...This is the one I've ordered

If you want to use a USB socket at 2A 5V then you need this lead as it needs a barrel plug on the other end

Following on from the below thread about having problems trying to play films etc back from a USB stick on our Avtex TV which was ultimtely resolved it's got me thinking again if there was an even better way to do this.

At present, in order to play films, tv progs etc on the Avtex via the USB hubby first has to convert them on his computer from the original mkv format to mpeg2 which is a pain so it got me wondering if there's a better way such as an 'interface' of some sort to cut out the need to convert them at all so they can stay in their original mkv format. With this in mind I've been having a mooch round and a media player of some sort seems an easier way to do this but my knowledge of them is very limited!
So can someone please tell me which would do what I want ... I don't need it to do much other than for use to be able to plug in a USB or portable hard drive with the programmes etc on and be able to play them regardless of their format without messing about converting them ....
As it's my hubby's birthday in a month I'd like to get him one to have a play with as by then he'll have got fed up with the new washing machine and need a new 'toy' to keep himself amused!
Help!!!
And you can get a 12v cable for them...So I was having the issue of taking files from the Humax box and then converting the .TS files with Handbrake to MP4 - each file took half the programme time ( 1 hours viewing took 30 minutes to convert and the laptop kept overheating and cutting out!)
The bottom line is that I ordered a Sumvision Cyclone 4 - it arrived Wednesday and it powers the portable hard drive and plays the TS files ( amongst many other file types) - it does a sd card slot too - menu system is good as you can read whole file name and delete after viewing. Also it has Miracast so you can see your tablet screen on the TV. So far so good
