IO Data unveils DiXiM HVL4-G2.0 NAS for Regza HDTVs

by Richard Lawler Apr 9th 2008 @ 3:25AM


IO Data took the wraps off of a new HDD unit made specifically to attach to those new Regza ZH500s, the DiXim HVL4-G2.0 is compliant with the latest DLNA / DTCP-IP standards to easily record TV shows via the network. It's got space for four drives up to a maximum capacity of 2 TB in a RAID 5 array, limiting recording space to a max of 1.5 TB. Because of copy protection, it only records from Toshiba's TVs right now, and can be controlled completely via remote. Doubt we'll be seeing this here anytime soon, but it'll be on store shelves in Japan later this month for 111,615 ($1,090 US).

Truth in advertising: Compusa's I-O Data AVLP2/DVDLA "HD DVD" Player

by Matt Burns Jul 30th 2006 @ 2:15PM

Oh goodness. Take a look at this and tell us if you are as disappointed in Compusa as we are. On the bottom left of page 11 in their weekly sales-ad, lists a HD DVD player for only $199. Sounds like a great deal but if you do a little more research, the I-O Data AVLP2/DVDLA isn't a HD DVD player. You may remember that we covered the player a few weeks back It does, however, play both DiVX-HD and WMV-HD discs, but not standard HD DVDs. In fact, it doesn't even up-scale standard DVDs to high-def! We are sure that some over-zealous writer at Compusa miss-read the specs, but that isn't any excuse. Compusa is one the nations premier retail technolgy store and this should not have made it to printing press.

So we repeat...THIS IS NOT A HD DVD PLAYER.
