Great! I'm in. Been waiting for this new version for months. Can't confirm yet but I hope it supports DTS

The good:

* Supports multiple file formats
* Simple interface
* Can stream media wirelessly
* Can read direct from USB
* Variety of video connections

The bad:

* No HDMI
* Slow boot cycle
* Fiddly wireless setup
* Can't copy directly from USB drives
* Ordinary remote

Ummmm #2 you do your homework it does have HDMI

I have an MG-35 and have had it for 4 years now works great. I use my Harmony 880 remote to control it no problems. It's a great player for what I use it for.

jklyank

you sure u are talking about the right model?

"Features full HD playback support via HDMI"....<==

and cold start only take 30~40sec

I just recived my 800 this morning, wireless N are just sweet!!

Looks nice but pretty expensive.

agreed with #5, still too expensive for Wireless HD Player w/no hard drive.

Sorry, I was mistaken...please disregard previous post.

Good news! just got a reply from xpcgear and they said that yes, it will pass through DTS audio

I have heard that these are not as good as the wired models, but check for yourself.

#9 - it has 10/100 port

I've had the MG-35 for a few years and an MG-350HD for 2, really enjoy both of them. The software is a bit buggy, but the video is pretty good.

So is this like an Apple TV?

For $300, you can get a low end Dell which will do all this and a lot more... I personally given up on these gadgets. They always have a good idea, but implementation always leave a lot to be desired. At least with computer you can customize it to suit your needs...

For $180 get the Popcorn Hour which supports true HD in all of the widespread formats (MPEG 4 thru VC1 and H.264, codecs AVI and MKV, OGG, etc. etc...)

This MG-800HD doesn't look like it supports MKV containers. Pass.

Popcorn Hour doesn't have the wireless.

#14

If you look at the specs of the mediagate, it does state ".mkv
"

#15, yes it does .... at least the A-110

#15, yes they do.
Here it is:
