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.

Sorry, but I did not encounter any bugs. The device worked fine and supported most of my DivX videos. And it also plays well mpeg2 and mpeg and mpeg4 inside .mov. And remember, I have over 6-7 PMPs and weird media devices, NONE plays ALL of my DivX, only DivX's own player does that. The rest of the "certified" divx devices out there only play some kinds only.

This box uses the Sigma EM8551 chipset which is over 3 years old. It is buggy. It only supports divx encodes in very niche sets of configurations. If you want to play back anything but basic material (i.e. you want HD streaming) then avoid it.
