I use a network attached storage (NAS) drive that has a built in media server that is DLNA compliant. I have a Samsung Blu Ray player that can attach to the media server to play movies off the NAS as well as stream movies from NetFlix, Hulu Plus (among others) and music from Pandora. So with two devices I have the ability to play DVDs, music CDs, stream movies/music from the Internet as well as stream music/movies/photos from the DLNA media server. It sounds moire complicated than it is.

This is in your RV ?

I don't have NAS but I do have three external hard drives
A Sony media player, and a digital tuner PVR

But the OP is asking about movie storage to take in his RV

Yes it is in my RV. It is a 1TB NAS, I cheaped out and just bought the NAS shell since I already had the SATA drives for it, attached to a PepWave SOHO router. The NAS has the media server built into the firmware and it is Twonky Vision software. All of this is stored in a small cubby hole in the closet where the antenna booster is located. It also has the outlets for the sat/cable connection there for the bedroom TV as well. Since there was a 120V electrical outlet already there it made it the logical choice for the NAS/router. I have another 1TB NAS that I bring into the RV occasionally and duplicate the NAS that is on board the RV. This second NAS is stored off site. The NAS that I keep in the RV can be expanded to 4TB by changing out the two 500MB drives for two 2TB drives.

BTW the SOHO can tether a hotspot and also has the WiFi as WAN capability for Internet connectivity in addition to the access to the NAS where the OP could store his movies as well as serve them up to his players.

Like I said it all sounds more complicated than what it really is.
