What's the best way to play movies from flash drive on the TV?

And by best, I mean cheapest. I know this can be done using an xbox or some of the new dvd players (which I don't have), so I'm trying to find what would be the cheapest thing that would do the job.

buy a cable that connects your computer to the tv would be the cheapest.

 

The new roku box has a usb connector, but it's not "cheap" also you need to make sure that the video format is compatible with whatever you are putting the usb into.

Also, if you end up getting a media streaming box you need to make sure that the usb is host not slave. Some have a slave connector I think boxee does, but I'm not 100% sure.

Do you have any game consoles?

In my opinion, the best way would be to use an existing pc or laptop.

 

Find an output jack on your computer, then find an input jack on your tv. Buy a cable that converts from one to the other for less than $20. A lot of new tvs have vga (coded blue) inputs, so you can just get a vga-vga cable. Some graphics cards have hdmi outs that can be connected straight to your tv, or dvi outs that can be converted to hdmi through a cheap cable.
