At CES back in January SanDisk showed off a USB media player device that has just now made it to market. The system is called the Sansa TakeTV. The system is somewhat similar to the Apple TV product in that it records content from your PC to play on your TV. Whereas the Apple TV uses wireless connectivity to connect to your TV, the Sansa TakeTV uses a USB drive that plugs into a cradle connected to your TV.PC Magazine reviewed the TakeTV recently and awarded it three stars. The reviewer said that it was simple to use and plays Xvid, DivX, and MPEG-4 files. Unfortunately, the device doesn’t support HD video and it lacks digital video out. Pricing for the TakeTV is inexpensive with a 4GB unit going for $100 and an 8GB one selling for $150. SanDisk also has a content site to go along with the TakeTV called Fanfare.com where you can download TV shows from Showtime for free like Dexter and from CBS like CSI: Miami.
