This actually plays both mkv h.264 and avchd h.264, which is usually contained in a mpeg.ts wrapper. If I had this, I think I would use it as a means of decoding HD content recorded by the new Hauppauge hd pvr (which encodes avchd h.264) connected to another box running Freevo. Then you could either use it as a network media player or with a hard drive inside, store what is recorded on the other box.Its only downside is its price.With a 750 GB hard drive, the TVIX runs about $560 U.S.Add another $250 for the Hauppauge unit and you're over $800.A TVIX with no hard drive would bring the total down to about $650.

Unless it really is the case that it only plays h264 content in a matroska container, which would be, well, retarded.
