I'm not to crazy about the thought of letting my two year old watch TV whenever she wants. I've actually gotten the Modix HD 3520, but I'm not really using that much. It's still faster and easier to stick in a DVD into the player, but now I have backups for everything. - Ophir The touchscreen interface is a good idea.

My 2 yr old has his own PC upstairs with a touch screen interface. When he wants to watch a movie, he simply launches VLC player, opens the movies folder (shortcut on the desktop) and drags the movie he wants to watch onto the VLC application. Children are really quick to learn things like this and it is only a tiny mental feat compared to the difficulty of learning to walk and everything else. There are some videos of the kid on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=baby+touchscreen I ripped all the kid’s DVD’s to a linux fileserver in the basement which runs samba.

I bought one from Tigerdirect and haven't had any problems at all with it, other than a noise fan. Don’t give up on the Inoi player.
