I just got one of these in the mail yesterday after going back and forth between it and the WD model. It feels a little cheaply made, but it works, and it works well. So far it has played everything I have thrown at it without so much as a hiccup. The GUI is simple and easy to use, although it would be nice to have a search feature or at least a page up/down function to get to the file you want to see quicker. That IMO is one of the biggest downfalls of this little machine right now. You have to keep pressing the down arrow on the remote in order to scroll through your media, The tiny case fan on it is a little on the noisy side as well, but tolerable. The only other thing I would have liked to see is a rear USB port so that you don't have to snake a wire around to the front panel to plug in your HD. Overall, its a great machine with all of the features I was looking for at the moment. I've got a 1TB drive hooked up to it right now. With a couple of tweaks and a better feel to the build quality, along with network support and this would easily be the BEST non-computer media player on the market. One other interesting feature of note is the ability to copy files from one media device to another, which makes it great if download something new. Just throw it onto a thumb drive and copy it over to the HD. If anyone has any other questions about the device, just let me know.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tony]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 24th 2009 11:12AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on MediaGate's MG-MÂ²TV, world's first superscripted HD media player, is now available]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/mediagates-mg-m-tv-worlds-first-superscripted-hd-media-player/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/mediagates-mg-m-tv-worlds-first-superscripted-hd-media-player/</guid><description><![CDATA[Need moar ethernet.

It's great when company is over and we're in conversation and want to check something out on the net real fast, whip out the wireless keyboard and insta-interwebz.  Want to share that funny vid from the stupid forward at work...bust out the wireless keyboard.  What this would be actually used for, if it had networking, is for streaming from a drive server.  My next project is stuffing a server in a closet with something like a 8 tb raid 5 array and wire the house with fibre so every tv could have something like this.
