I have just stumbled upon the tvix M5000U @ http://www.tvix.co.kr/eng/

whilst this smart little box does not have a freeview tuner yet it will 
do (the manual hints at this and there support team confirmed that it 
will be on its way).  But apart from that it plays all manner of 
compressed video files avi, vob, MP3G along with MP3's and JPG's.

When the tuner comes out I'm looking at this being the answer to all my 
(digital) problems.

freeview recorder (granted only a single tuner)
HDD player that plays Mp3's, MPEG's, avi's vob etc
output to DVI
fibre connection
ethernet
USB

Just wondered if anyone one had any thoughts on this device ?

As I am deciding whether to wait for the above (plus tuner) or get 
either a toppy or a sony RDR-HXD910.

I'm waiting for this
