No, not on my early '09 model. I searched high and low (and high again) to
figure out how to cable the MacBook to my TV (I had done it previously on my
iG5 via S-Video). Can't be done.

Seems from the comments on www.hotukdeals.com it'll play from a USB memory
stick too. Aarrgh! Too late! Now back up to �70 from �20!

There is also a Sumvision Cyclone Micro HD Movie Player though which does the
same thing (although /not/ play .mp4's) for �16.64. If anyone wants it, the
promo code is CYC35M (also free delivery).
