MediaMVP: I want one!
Hauppage have just released a device that can play MPEG 1/2 and DivX to your TV set over a WiFi network (eHomeUpgrade has a Press Release here).
The device seems to come in either WiFi model or Wired models (more detail on the wired model here)
I’ve been wanting to build a media PC for the lounge room for a long time now, but have been put off by the expense. Cheaper alternatives such as a modded xbox just didn’t feel right to me. This thing could be the perfect answer. I already have a server with a load of disk space that contains my media stuff, and a WiFi point. The MediaMVP would serve as a bridge between that and my TV. According to the press release linked above, $149 US for the WiFi version means its cheap too. What more could you want! I definately want one of these. As an added bonus the device itself runs Linux (although who realy cares if its reliable).
