Dvico TViX HD M6500A features:

1. overheats due to poor thermal design: no heatsink on the Sigma chip!

2. very loud with fan set to high: trying to prevent overheating...

3. USB port safety resistors burn out, if you attach it to a computer with power on

4. firmware is immature and can crash the whole box even on normal playback

Otherwise quite nice box

For All Tvix haters - do you know any other media player with MKV support on the market right now??? Yes, its running hot, yes the software hasn't been fully polished out, but since there aren't alternatives stfu.

Yet to see what Popcorn hour will be...

This does look like a great device, putting the problems aside. It's media center menu looks cool. However, at $400 plus the price of a HDD this doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense in my opinion. You could build a mini itx box running linux that you can update anytime and play any format out there...for less or about the same money (and it'll have more features). The convenience of this device is however nice and I'd get one to have in my living room if the price was lower. Nice gadget nonetheless, I hope they fix the firmware soon.
