...I have a Buffalo linkstation on which i store my films.

hanndy bit of kit:

this i hook up to my main TV via cat5 into the blu-ray, and then use that as a media player for the files. Slightly long winded but gets the result i need

I need to get another TV plugged in to this set up - can i just link it via USB? or will it need a dedicated media player to process the files?

something like this maybe:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Western-Digital-1080P-Medi...

ideally want just to plug the drive into the tele - but guess this means a DNLA compatible TV.... needs to be small - 26-28" or thereabouts

any advice most gladly recieved.
cheers
