Media Players - recommendations

Hi all,

The time has come to replace my media player at home. Currently I've got a bit of a fong kong version which is 6 years old now. It can only use an internal drive, there are no USB connections or card slots etc.

I've got a shed load of movies and tv series on 2 seperate external drives, so I'd like something which I can connect these to via a USB cable.

I have yet to start researching, so if you can advise me on what to look out for, that would be great.

Thanks
