    Comments about MediaGate MG-800HD Media Player:

    Easy to use - great image - versatile connectivity.
    Like all video players, it can have problems with some formats. However, with a little patience you can reformat a troublesome media file and it will work properly. There are some minor problems which I expect will be fixed with forthcoming firmware releases, but no showstoppers.
    On the downside it runs pretty hot.

    Comments about MediaGate MG-800HD Media Player:

    I have this unit attached to my Pioneer LX70. Setup was easy, the image and sound via HDMI is great. Unfortunately, the device (it is temporary?) does not support TrueHD and DTS-HD MA.... Big BDRemux are played without problems, but only not on a network..... IMHO, needs firmware updates.......
