almost $17 tax killed the deal for me
This thing looks great, shame Philips doesn't do something similar with their $30 DivX player. They have one with USB for $20 extra, I'd surely pay $25 for wifi.
I'd just spend a bit more and get an XBox or PS3. Both do streaming media, and the XBox interfaces with Media Center.
I'm getting one of these. Been waiting for a deal on something like this. Primarily it will be for photos first, but I'd like to explore the video options too. I don't really want a game console and don't use Media Center so this looks like my best option.
Hmmm. Their site seem to be broken right now. I'm trying to call.
I went to their site and the price came up as $189 without the coupon. It would not let me use the coupon. I said it was invalid.
#5 could you check out? I couldn't so I called and they said to try again later.
$189.00 at xpcgear
free shipping, no tax
Got one from xpcgear about a month ago. So far so good. It doesn't support certain video formats, but I'm satisfied with it.
#8, what formats does it not support?
I'm trying to figure how this is better - or not - than the d-link media player, which has a dvd player (which I could use right now), though it doesn't support HD (which I can't use right now), but is $100 cheaper after rebate.
You can go to the following site (forum). They include comments and questions from customers. While some of the comments are negative, I find the product rather nice for playing most video/audio media files.

I got used Xbox for about $30, modchip installed for $50, free XBMC and it supports a lot more codecs than the MediaGate. I have another multimedia enclosure now but I am unable to play mp4, RealVideo and some other formats. Xbox with XBMC supports all of them.
Xbox doesn't support DVI (HDMI) output though. It doesn't have the horsepower to decode full HD (1080p), especially H.264.
I'm happy with mine. So much more convenient to just play over the network than have to burn/copy files to CD/DVD/flash. Only thing I would like is x264/H.264/MKV support, but that needs new chips with more horsepower. Network Media Tank, baby!
