We have been seeing some good promotions on these media players now. xPCgear.com currently has $10 and $20 MIR for MediaGates, plus free 2 day shipping. Get a $69 500GB SATA II hard drive from newegg and you have the best deal in town.

It seemed that the new 1.1.11 firmware has also solved the intermittent freezing/crashing problems. I found that the MediaGate player tends to freeze when streaming wirelessly. It is pretty stable when wired to a router.

MG-450HD 1.1.11 Firmware is available now. It fixed the following problems:

HDMI/DVI detection problem.
Some usb devices in USB host ports, were not detected correctly.
IRadio Buffering and “Stop” lockup issue.

You can download this new MediaGate firmware on the MG-450HD page. I also added a How-to guide if you need help flashing firmware.

The MediaGate manual is posted on the MG-450 HD page. There are detailed installation instructions, basic configuration setup, explanation of the main menu icons, setup menu icons, video/audio connectors and buttons.

One of my friends wanted to buy MG-450 HD, so I ordered one for him (using his credit card). It was on sale for $219 with free 2 day air shipping. Really good deal - cheaper than the MediaGate 350HD. Those media players are getting cheaper. We received it last week and I will post [...]

I saw one online merchant marked MediaGate MG450 HD as “in stock now”. The price is actually lower than the IDE version MG-350HD. Here is the link.

A friend of mine bought a MediaGate MG450 when he traveled to Australia last week. It looks identical to MediaGate MG-350 HD but uses the newer package same as MG-45.
