Apple is working furiously to get their ITV product into market early next year. However, this type of product is not a new idea. There have been a number of similar remote multimedia products since 2003, most based off the
Syabas software stack.
Geeks.com were very generous sending us over ADS'
MXL-581 Media-Link Entertainment Receiver for a review, a Syabas-based device that's using the
uCOS-II real-time kernel (

If you had taken the time to actually read the review, I mention that there is component and DVI inputs. Nevertheless, these are pretty useless ports, because the device can't decode HD-resolution video anyway. It would only be useful for better quality SD video, browsing and picture viewing.
