Iomega introduces the ScreenPlay TV Link, which is basically the ScreenPlay HD Multimedia Drive without the internal 500GB hard drive. Instead, the ScreenPlay TV Link comes with USB port for attaching storage devices such as USB flash drive, external hard drive.
With the ScreenPlay TV Link, you can enjoy video, music or images stored on USB storage media. It supports almost all kinds of formats including MP3, AC3 (Dolby(R) Digital Encoding), WAV, WMA, MPEG-1, MPEG-2 (AVI/VOB), MPEG-4 (AVI/DiVX 3.11, 4.x, 5.x/XViD) and JPEG. It offers both HDMI and component outputs can allows users to choose video settings from 480p, and 720p, 1080i through upscaling.
Update! The MG-M2TV is a turning out to be a great player! Looks like Mediagate just released a Korean language firmware too for the MG-M2TV. found the link on xpcgear.com http://www.xpcgear.com/mediaga.....-hdmi.html
It’s true this is a good player for the money though it does have buggy issues as many have . Too bad it’s not really HD quaility. once they do this will be a hard to beat player since it can do ALMOST everything you would want it to do. Seems there are two types now: with and w/o hard drive. those with HDD like the Mediagate or Popcorn hour are a good choice. those w/o hard drives like the WD TV, IOMEGA Screenplay are good too but you have to attach some sort of external usb storage anyway. So choose wisely. If you are looking for something that may be better than the WD TV, search for this: “Mediagate MG-M2TV”. this is the newest player from Mediagate which can do everything the WD TV or Iomeg screenplay can but actually supports more formats like RMVB (real video) for many Asian videos. so this is one item i’m really looking forward to. hoping the reviews are good on this one.
