Multimedia, AV 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 (introduction [.pdf]). Check inside for our review and many screenshots of the system.

Looking at the manufacturer's product page tells me that this box is a dead end. For software based products such as this, I don't know...
A bargain bin lottery. If it suits one's particular needs out of the box, indeed a bargain. If not - well..

In your video, showing the ipod ad, there are lots of artifacts. Is this common behavior? Or is it because of encoding errors?
