Just checked UPS tracking, and the ADS unit has been delivered! I'll keep people posted once I have had a chance to try it.
I really like my MVP. I am currently running it in conjunction with Beyond TV and the BTV-MVP "skin" which provides a good deal of functionality. BTV recorded MPEG (2s) play flawlessly. Last version of the MVP code allows pretty good (but not perfect) FFWD and REW of MPEG (although skip ahead/back which worked well in earlier versions seems to be broken). Playing Divx/Xvid not too bad, but gets out of sync (audio/video) occasionally (fixed by stopping and resuming). Might happen once or twice for a 40 minute show. FFWD/REW for AVI files does not work at all. Annoying. So I am looking forward to elimination of transcoding and hopefully a better Divx/Xvid experience and better viewing control over all file types.
I have a second location that I want to setup with a Media Receiver which is why I am purchasing the ADS unit in the first place.
