Convert BD-ROM drive, so it can play BD's on living room tv???

[omegaman7]

Are there devices, or workarounds for converting a BD-Rom drive so that an HDTV can accept the audio and video signal?

My living room BD player is on the fritz, and I no longer trust my iHES108 for ripping BD's for backups. It's began introducing Pixels and artifacts into the video stream. As you can imagine, this is quite a turnoff. So short of building a home theater pc, is there a way to convert my Drive to play in the living room? Playing in real time seems to be ok with the drive, but I don't want it extracting data from discs anymore. I can't trust it.

I'm probably just better off buying a new bd player eh?

Darnit! Got my hopes up. Must have been a spammer! :(

Sorry O-man, I have been looking but haven't found anything for ya. Not sure if its possible, don't really think so but I will look some more.

Been looking myself too. I think nothing less than an htpc will have to do. But since the living room tv is a plasma, I don't fancy the idea.
