Consumer review (newegg.com)

two duds: not worth my time

Hauppauge used to be synonomous with quality and innovation. seems they really dropped the ball with this one.

none

this is a replacement for the first defective unit I received. that one at least would start to boot before it would hang at the splash screen. it resisted every effort to update the firmware per the mfgr's instructions. the second unit was basically a...

Another DOA

NewEgg's customer service is second to none: had a glitch getting a replacement RMA but a chatline CSR got me hooked up with a RMA and a return-by-UPS label.

none yet: the one egg is for Newegg's customer service, b/c there's no way to give zero eggs

I too received a unit that is DOA: in my case, it's stuck on the "Hauppauge" splash screen. I followed the beta-fix instructions on the mfgr web page, but the unit won't recognize the USB drives I prepped w/ the update files, so it goes back. I just...

Device is flaky.

Hauppauge - at least from my research - has always provided medium to high quality products for TV > PC. This is i believe the first PC > TV product that they have sold, and I would not be surprised if it was not developed by them. Very...

Small form factor. Infact its so small my first thought was - well this is going to be a P O S

This box has successfully played ZERO full length videos. I load a video, watch about 5-10 mins, only to be greeted by a "NO VIDEO DETECTED" screen from my TV. the MVP support page states "Changing inputs on your TV ( ie, from HDMI1 to HDMI2) while the...

not what you think it is

I purchased for use with Hauppauge tuners and BeyondTV software. This media box, despite the controls on the remote, will not let you see a guide, record, or erase. It is pretty much useless as a PVR system from your remote TV. It's sole function is...

I was able to play media files over my network

The BeyondTV FAQ's for the MediaMVP do not apply to the MediaMVP-HD. This means the skins developed for the older product do not work with this one. As a media player does not compare to the Seagate Home Theater Plus

User Beware - Product DOES NOT Work!

None as it does NOT work out of the box

When I turn on the MediaMVP-HD the green light comes on solid until the MediaMVP splash screes shows up on the TV with the Hauppauge! logo. As the splash screen appears the green light begins to blink and the remote is unresponsive to any commands....

Couldn't be happier

I wanted a device that could hook up to my TV and play media without a computer intermediary. I hooked up this device to my TV and plugged a 1 TB USB drive into the 1340. It instantly worked perfectly. This product did everything I wanted and more....

In all honestly...none
