Mvix MX-780HD Media Center is Released
The MX-780HD has finally been released after rumors of it first appeared last year. It’s the 3rd generation in the MX line and the successor to the acclaimed MX-760HD. Apart from its new sleek black color, the 780 features HDMI out, and HD support all the way up to 1080p. Just like the 760, the 780 can have a hard drive inserted for tons of storage, but this time it supports both IDE and SATA drives.
In case you’ve never heard of these Media Centers, let’s take a quick look at what it can do. For starters, stream content (music, videos, movies, photos, whatever) from your computer to your entertainment center via Ethernet (10/100Mbps), WiFi or even USB 2.0; record and playback content onto/from its built-in hard drive (HD); it’s portable so you can take your content on the road and hook it up wherever you go. There are all kinds of things you can do, but take a look at its specs to get an idea.

You said that the MX-780HD can “record and playback content onto/from its built-in hard drive (HD)”. That is an incorrect statement. You can transfer your content via USB or NDAS, but the model I have will not “Record”. Did you get a different one for review?
