DLNA-Compatible 2009 Samsung HDTV's Will Have DivX Support

It seems that if your home theater gadget doesn't support the DivX codec these days, you're doomed to failure. Pretty much ubiquitous in Blu-ray and DVD players, the next logical step for DivX is to move their codec support right into HDTV's. Earlier this week, the company reached a multiyear agreement with Samsung to do just that. A line of DLNA-compatible digital TV models from Samsung, expected to see worldwide release in early 2009, will support DivX playback either from a direct USB or Ethernet connection. That's the extent of the details available at the moment, but I'll all but guarantee we'll find out more come CES next January.
