Which one is it? The mvix and tvix ones I've tried will work as a usb
drive /or/ a media player - ie. won't play anything unless you
disconnect the usb cable, which is a bit of a pain.

The latest firmware for the mvix-760HD allows you to ftp files to it
over wifi whilst it's playing media I believe. Which one is the 70UKP
extra one you were referring to?
