And it has a great WAF factor :-) Now this looked very good! Almost exactly what I was after. Few things missing still but seems that there is active development thus will be implemented later on. Few things missing: -HDTV due to HW. Any idea if there is going to be HDTV version of the HW later on? Most likely HTPC is much better solution for HDTV anyway due to deinterlace and scaling which requires quite much CPU power (see next Q about PC version of VOMP). -similar (or same) system running on PC. The idea for kitchen (yes, I'd like to have TV on kitchen for the morning news) TV would be to use "All in one LCD" -type of PC such as this: http://hitony.en.alibaba.com/product/0/51321326/15__All_in_One_LCD_PC.html Does VOMP work on normal PC as well (I missed this info)? -the graphics on VOMP I assume is not changeable (no skin or theme support -> would require recompiling I assume but still)? What about the picture quality of the MediaMVP: is it good, average, poor? Anyway, this is very good news! Br, Pasi
