The MX-780HD has finally been released after rumors of it first appeared last year. It’s the 3rd generation in the MX line and the successor to the acclaimed MX-760HD. Apart from its new sleek black color, the 780 features HDMI out, and HD support all the way up to 1080p. Just like the 760, the 780 can have a hard drive inserted for tons of storage, but this time it supports both IDE and SATA drives.
In case you’ve never heard of these Media Centers, let’s take a quick look at what it can do. For starters, stream content (music, videos, movies, photos, whatever) from your computer to your entertainment center via Ethernet (10/100Mbps), WiFi or even USB 2.0; record and playback content onto/from its built-in hard drive (HD); it’s portable so you can take your content on the road and hook it up wherever you go.

| The MX-780HD cannot "record and playback content onto/from its built-in hard drive (HD)". You can transfer your content via USB or Wired/Wireless network using NDAS.
Thank you for mentioning this fine product.
I am very happy with mine. |

| Do not purchase this. Google the mvix community forums - do not believe the commerical reviews - clearly some are simply brochure reprints.
The Mvix780 has lots of firmware bugs - wireless is flakey, HDMI is flakey. Please reearch the MVIX forums - you will be shocked at the amout of bugs and issues people have.
The issue that 'broke the camels back' for me was that it failed to play std wav files created by a windows media player 11 cd rip (no copy protection added to files)
HDMI is known on the forums to NOT FUNCTION AT ALL is some circumstances. It can not and its seems will NOT be fixed by the authors of the firmware.
Please do your research - on the surface the feature list is very enticing - you will be disappointed though. |
