Jim Buzbee found that this media adapter covers the basics, but lacks UPnP AV and wide format support.

I own a MediaMVP, and I can tell you that I love it. The only thing to note here, is that I never installed the Hauppauge software at all. I use SageTV in my home, and it downloads a mediaMVP version of sage to the unit on power on. Takes buying a special sage liscense for the unit, but it works amazingly, fully supporting virtually any SageTV plugin, and skin. I have a full PC client in my living room for my HD viewing, but in the bedroom, where all I have is a 19" SDTV, the MediaMVP is the perfect solution.

Yeah GBPVR support Media MVP as well although I have never used an MPVR on it myself you can't beat free software.

I've been around for more than 10 years on the net, I do welcome your view of the Media MVP but I must say that you need to head over to GBPVR and see the light on a new viewing mode. Take that basic MVP OSD and turn it into something different. I skin "Media Center (G)" for the GBPVR for the sole purpose of Media MVP which I own 4 of them since 2004.

divx and xvid do work, but, they require recompression on the server. The MVP only decodes MPEG and MPEG2, so that is a hardware limitaion, not firmware.. as for the firmware, I am using SageTV, which loads its own software onto the MVP. I don't really watch anything that isn't MPEG2 on it anyways, as it is just my bedroom tv, and mostly just watch live/recorder tv on it.
