MVix

After I ordered my DivX player I found a few reviews for the product and realized that the product won’t fit all my criteria, so I cancelled my order from WantItAll.co.za , and ordered another model from eShopper.co.za and also after some research found this to not meet all my criteria AFTER I ordered it…. so again I cancelled my order.

MVix

So eventually I decided to go for the MVix780D which I ordered on Monday(last week) afternoon around 17h00 from Nivo.co.za, and picked it up on Tuesday(the day after I ordered) afternoon as they are on my way to work in Montgomery Park.

I’m still playing around with my new MVix, and found a restriction that it does not support the new MKV format which is starting to come more and more visible these days. After visiting their site I found that they publish regular updates of the firmware and downloaded the latest firmware which has a beta release of MKV support.

All n All I’m happy so far, so when I’ve got some free time, I’ll try to publish a proper review of my MVix.

I checked MVix.co.za’s site and found that they already have a firmware update for MKV’s which is in BETA but it’s cool to now have a device where there is constant Firmware updates.

MVix looks really awesome. I think i will also get myself one for the house and another for office entertainment.

Did you ever resolve the MKV restriction with the upgrade?

The MKV support seems to be in BETA, and seems just to be sound, bleh.! But hoping for some better support in the future.

The main reason I chose the MVix is for the frequent update of firmware and the community forums.
