Hauppauge MediaMVP
Hauppauge, long a player in the video capture card world, has moved into digital media streaming. The MediaMVP is a low cost device that allows you to stream your digital media to your TV. They have included both wired and wireless connections so you can set this little guy up anywhere in your house, regardless of what kind of network you have.
The MediaMVP will allow you to play MP3 and WMA files for audio and MPEG 1 and MPEG 2 as well as DivX on the video side. With the included remote you are able to browse your PC, via the included server software, and select the video, song, or photo you want.
One of the downsides that we see in looking at their documents is that the wireless version does not have the ability to connect to a WPA protected network, only WEP. The one thing we refuse to do is to revert back to WEP. Call us paranoid, but with all the security issues surrounding WEP it turns the wireless option into a no go for us.
This seems like a great device for basic use on your network. It makes it easy for Windows users to be able to browse pictures, movies and music on their TV and stereo. We have one in the mail and we will be posting a full review soon so stay tuned.
If you don't want to wait for our detailed review then you can pick one up at Amazon.
