Will there be a wireless MVP anytime soon?

[joe123]

Let us know if it as a brightness control adjustment.

[_Demo_]

We still don't have good analysis of the brigthness issue. You can send me a private message if you are interested in trying some things and you have brightness problems.

Any firm answer on whether the spdif connection will allow AC3 audio to pass through the extender? Then we can plug it into our receivers and decode it there? If so, does this mean no transcoding is required for the DVD's on the server end?

Thanks,

JUC

Hopefully the MVP will be out REALLY soon. I'm also waiting to get an MVP until a wireless version is available. While you can connect the existing MVP to a wireless bridge that just seems too clunky for my great room.

Will that work with SAGETV as well?

I would love to get that one if I could watch my sagetv on it.

Thanks.

I think we should continue to be a little more patient on this product and hope Hauppauge does not release this device prematurely ....

Currently myself along with several others are using 802.11g client bridges( or game adapters) with our MVP media extenders to make them wireless. This arrangement works seamlessly for recordings 2.5 GB/hr(DVD Long Play) or less for recording of higher quality we begain to choke a little on bandwidth throughput.

What we have all noticed ... for optimal performance we must use the router and client bridge(game adapter) from the same vendor. I am currently using a Belkin Pre N router and the Belkin client bridge and based on results from users who use other vendors(D-Link, Netgear and Linksys) ... I am achieving the same performance.

The piece I think that is holding up the deployment ... is the use of equipment from different vendors. While testing I noticed a significant decrease in performance when using equipment from different vendors. The decrease in performance was from that of not working at all to at best a 1 GB/hr bandwidth(fair recording).

This incompatibility issue is what is currently delaying the next release of our wireless standards 802.11n. which promises bandwidth rates of anywhere from 150 Mbps to upto 600 Mbps ( hi-def streaming ) http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/wirel...11n-167272.php


At this point we can only guess at the vendor That will be used in the release of the wireless MVP. Lets just hope its compatible with ALL our routers

Cool, now my life will be complete. I won't have to go to the computer to burn a dvd so can watch my recordings on my TV.

Can someone explain how this will work? I mean will have to buy the license from SageTV to make this work on my TV and my wireless network. I ask because I only recently got my PC with Sage and also have a wirless router, so I am not sure exactly what to do.

Any help would be appreciated.

First, SageTV will have to release a version that supports the wireless version, though it may work in wired mode until then.

You would need an extender license, which comes with the MVP if purchased from SageTV, or you can buy it separately here.

Thirty dollars should do it. Just send it to me and I'll take care of it.

Just fool'in. Actually, you need to buy an Extender/Placeshifter license from Sage for $30.00. That should be accomplished at the "Store".

Edit: Shoot, Andy beat me again even after taking a "Typing-Tutor" advanced refresher course!

OK, I didn't tell you, so don't look here either.

[Jabroni]

Well if you would need beta testers for it count me in

[tmiranda]

I'm counting on Sage releasing an update very soon after the "formal" introduction of the Wireless MVP. Until then I will run an ugly cable across my living room floor.

Married, two kids, cat, turtles. The wife loves the MVP in the bedroom and wants to know why we don't have one on the living room TV

Just received the ship notification on my wireless MVP. It's scheduled to be delivered Friday.

Also, had a good experience with Hauppauge. They accidentally shipped the MVP to the wrong address (transposed two number). I called them up and within 10 minutes the guy I spoke to called UPS to correct the problem and called me back to verify the issue was corrected. Nice.

By the way,I called Hauppauge to order a wireless MVP. I asked them why it wasn't orderable from Newegg or other places. The rep said that it is available for them to order,but none have ordered any yet. So, retailers don't know about it or no demand yet...
