Introduction
Set-top media boxes are an area of hot competition right now, with dozens of companies competing to provide you the best the web has to offer at a relatively cheap price. These boxes have to deliver a lot on a slim budget: they have to be small, quiet, provide huge storage, hook into online content and deliver it all up on demand. Certainly not one to be left out of this game, Mvix has provided us with their current top-of-the-line HD Media Center box, the Ultio Pro 880-HD.
