Would you please tell which DVD players have an ethernet port. I've seen USB and Firewire but never an Ethernet port. This would be a great idea.

Networked DVD players are used to stream audio and video from your computer to your HT system. A great solution for some, but they are NOT capable of transmitting HDTV signals.

Here is one example of a networked DVD player for a cheap price.
