Anyone had any experience with this new device on the marketWould it be suitable for:After downloading video files i.e. Bought the Mediagate 350HD yesterday and a 350g WD HDDIt detected ( manual TV out selection ) my Viewsonic 19' computer monitor worked from 478 to 762i and 762p it went spastic when i selected NTSC output for some reason.The Sony 19' computer monitor worked and it detected i could go from 478 to 1080 and then standard computer resolutions right up to 1680 x 1280 via the DVI. But my 6 year old normal composite CRT TV is great.Retravision didn't mind me hooking it up to the V series and X series Bravas I did see problems but they were crappy Optus transmissions.Wireless NDAS worked straight away just turned off any power saving featuresWired NDAS worked straight away lock the port to ONE speed. Dont let it auto detectUSB host is underpowered needs a powered hubMore to follow.wonder what that multi i/o is for?
Mg 350 Egypt
Hi I bought the 350 last week.Im only running wireless at the moment, generally really happy with the product. Problems I have1 - VOB over wireless is bad, unwatchable (access cat5 is fine).2 - DAT Files only play default language so all VCD need to be manually changed. The audio Button does not work on VCD's3 - GUI is slow but not unbearably so. What would be nice though is an hour glass to say its doing something. You don't know if the device is responding or notDoes anyone know if playlists are supported and which ones, I know.wpl is not.Hopefully with a few firmare upgrades these minor issues will be sorted out.Other than this i'm happy - set up was a breeze.

Hardest part was reading off a long wep key. I got my device with 1.04 so did 2 upgrades which were really easy.I have the device connected to 2 outputs. My CRT TV using composite and my projector running component. Both are active, the component is being switch thru my AV receiver and there is only 1 lead going to the PJ so its definitely thru the component. I did this so when 'juke boxing' i did not need to have the PJ turnrd onHave mailed tech support for airlinktek - they were really prompt with their response - m3u will be supported in later version of the firmware - and they said new firmware will be release monthly.CheersDarian.

As to what its used for well its the same as the TVIX 5000 so Im assuming maybe (if yours is coinnected) there maybe a HDTV tuner addition. Although at the moment the TVIX 5000 only has a TSC one. I bought mine yesterday and set it up.I wanted to try the wireless connection first.after entering the network details into the 'network' 'wireless i' and 'wireless ii' i was able to get a wireless connection established using DHCP (blue wireless object).
Mg 350 Review
On my PC I then setup a share with a directory name and share name less than 12 chars. My router can see a new DHCP device attached. But when I click the OK button on the remote control over the blue wireless object it comes up with 'please wait' and then 5 secs or so later says 'no device is connected'. Do i need to do something else on my PC to allow the mg-350hd to see it and its share? I have WEP 64bit security setup. I've turned off my firewall to try and help but to no avail.
Wireless strength on mg-350hd is 80% and I have upgraded firmware to 1.09.Anxious to get wireless connection working!
