Does anyone know of a program that would be useful for tv output, where I can navigate through my divx files on screen? I was thinking about something around the lines of MainLobby (you cant navigate your own files). I would like it to display movie info etc.

REWORDED: OK, I'll try to explain as simply as possible. I have an htpc hooked up to my tv using an Ati 8500dv. I use the htpc mainly to display divx movies. I was wondering if there was a program in which I could launch a movie from that has a user interface that would look nice on a tv. This means that I want something that his easy to read buttons, and is set up for a tv that can only display 640x480. It would be nice if the program could display information about the movie.
