MediaMVP-HD brings digital media to your HD TV 

MediaMVP-HD is installed at your TV set and plays digital media (digital music, digital
videos and digital pictures) from your PC or a USB thumb drive onto the TV set.

When the digital content is on the PC, MediaMVP-HD connects to your PC over your home
Ethernet (wired) network.  You can also put digital media on a USB thumb drive, plug the
USB thumb drive into the MediaMVP-HD and then play the content onto your HD TV set.

MediaMVP-HD plays digital audio (MP3), high definition digital video (MPEG-2 as recorded
by the WinTV-PVR or WinTV-HVR series of Hauppauge TV tuners, plus H.264 as recorded
by the Hauppauge HD PVR and DivX) and digital pictures (JPEG, PNG, BMP and GIF). 

Play WinTV and HD PVR recordings on your HD TV set

MediaMVP-HD can play all recordings which can be made with a Hauppauge WinTV-PVR,
WinTV-HVR or HD PVR.  The video formats which can be played by the MediaMVP-HD are
MPEG-2 and H.264, both standard definition and high definition (up to 1080p). You can
also play standard and high definition Divx and standard definition Windows Media files.

USB thumb drives can be a source for media, too

In addition to connecting to a PC to play digital media, MediaMVP-HD also has a USB port
where you can plug in a USB thumb drive and play digital media.  If you have a external
USB hard drive, you might need to use a powered USB hub since the USB port on the
MediaMVP-HD is designed for thumb drives.

Access PC media with shared folders or uPnP

There are two ways the MediaMVP-HD can access media on a PC: you can set up 

Shared

Folders 

on your PC, or you can use 

Universal Plug and Play 

(called ‘uPnP’) to access

media folders on your PC.
