Will there be a wireless MVP anytime soon?

I was wondering if there will be a wireless version of the MVP available....

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.

According to the Linux story it should have shipped in January. What is the delay?

Can't you use your tv settings to change that?

I can see why this wouldn't appeal to some people, particularily those who use their TV for other purposes, eg. video game systems or dvd players. If you bump up the brightness forthe MVP, then everything else could be too bright.

So Jason, where'd you lay your hands on one of these? I still don't see it offered anywhere on the web...

Yeah... someone give us a review!



Work calls and I have not had a chance to even look at it... Hopefully I can hook it up on Saturday (and take some pics... for you all...). I need to upgrade the router that I use for use with the MVP though. I have an old 'B' model that I sue to give access to the kids computer and since the TV is right next to the computer, a 'G' or even a pre-'N' is going to have be put into service. Any thoughts?

I'd go with the Linksys WRT54GL. Make sure to get the "L" version though, because it means that it runs Linux as the firmware and you are able to flash a 3rd party firmware, like DD-WRT to enable a lot of extra features.

You still haven't said where you got it from?! I've searched the web and came up empty. I assume this is not available in the States just yet....

Just called Hauppauge today and their official statement is that it's ready and is going through its final "beta testing" now. "Within the next 4 weeks" I was told and it will be available.

This could very well mean they are waiting to have enough supply to ship them, (due to the recent lack of supply on the original MVP's)

I asked if the wirless MVP will be replacing the wired, the answer was "NO" and that they will continue to ship/produce the old wired version along with the wireless at the same time.

I was also told they are currently filling the backorders to their retailers now, and that there are plenty of wired MVP's in stock at Hauppauge's online store.

If Sage is out of 'em, and you just can't wait to get one. (ordering through Sage is $10 cheaper with the client license bundle)

Having worked with the MVP since Matt's original plugin (even before it was released...), I have benefitted from knowing a few folks...

As for where I got it.... From Hauppauge of course!

Seriously, it is going through a few more tests to ensure complete compatability and then I am sure Hauppauge will release it. I plan on installing it today and trying it out. My son was in the hospital last night (huge puke fest... ), so while he is resting, I might get a chance.
