    no, movies wont play on the SV, different file types, the SV records in TS format, it wont play avi etc, one or two have tried to convert avi to TS, but it dont really work, the combo will play back avi files, but not the SV cable box

        its the combined cable and sat box from Starview, getting good reports so far, it has the ability to play back avi files from the HD,

        But the cable boxs cant play them back, you will need a media player to do this, such as the WDTV box or simlilar
