We made the mistake of giving a ViewSonic
NextVision M2000E Digital Media Center to one of our sales managers for Christmas
and he hasn't been back to work ever since. We sent several people to bring
him back but they haven't returned either. There's a good chance we may never
see them again!

scintillating multimedia entertainment is included in one, space-saving package
that fits easily into any room, including complete digital video recorder, built-in

for home movies and photos.
With the ViewSonic Digital Media Center you can
watch what you want, when you want. You can listen to your favorite music from
your personally created digital music library or through the FM tuner (on select
models). Or for a change of pace, watch home movies, view digital photos or
play your favorite PC games.

Visual Technology with Microsoft® Windows® XP Media Center Edition and Intel technology

always dreamed about.

I have been very impressed with my unit. Set up was easy. I have not had the system crash as other reviewers have, and enjoy the freedom of pause and replay while watching scheduled programming on television. |

This system is great! Have a small bedroom and wanted to have a great set up and computer at the same time. And I did get the best of both worlds! I bought mine just a week ago from this site and got it within the week. I also hooked it up on my 20-inch flat panel and it is a beauty! The remote keyboard/mouse and Media Center remote is one of the best out there. |

I, too, was skeptical about this model based on unkind reviews but I am quite impressed with this machine. I plan on replacing the keyboard and have already added a wireless mouse because the all-in-one takes too much getting used to. My advice is chuck the keyboard and use the infrared for the remote control only. One minor complaint (most likely Windows related): After a successful and trouble-free setup of the Media Center software, I encountered a lost channel. It shows up in the guide and I can get the synopsis of the program but just static appears. All other channels work fine. I recorded two shows without the crashing that others have experienced and I burned a dvd without a problem. So far, so good I definitely feel I got my money's worth. |

I bought this not being real sure on how well it would perform, especially after reading past reviews. I've got to say that this unit is terrific. I have not experienced any of the issues that the reviews state. Yes, the wireless IR keyboard takes getting used to; the thumb stick's sensitivity needs to be adjusted to your liking. The freezing screens as in some reviews have not happened to me. There is a newer model a M2100, but all it has is a better video card, FM tuner and a Dual format DVD drive. Not really worth the much higher expense. Once the unit is out of warranty, 1 year, I'll then be able to change out any parts. The video card is not built in, neither is the hauppauge wintv-pvr evolution capture card. It looks very straightforward for future modding. You get a strong pc with a licensed copy of WMC for a great price. Everything works great, and I highly recommend it over Tivo or MythTV. Oh, it can also burn DVD's of your recorded shows without any more software. |

Great computer for a great price, but . . .
Not sure if it's a Windows thing or a processor thing, but it crashes a lot. I was really excited about using this as a DVR. I took out my Replay TV and DVD and VCR and plopped this thing under the TV. The wireless keyboard is really cool. The mouse thing on the keyboard takes a little to get used to. Remote is nice.
But it just wasn't stable enough. I'd be fast-forwarding through a recorded show and it would just shut down. No warning. No error message. (And it's not the MSBlast virus because it doesn't even give the timer countdown.)
I thought maybe it was too hot inside my entertainment center with my cable box (which is also a heat-producing DVR). So I finally had to take it out and put the Replay TV and DVD back :(
So I took the computer out of there and put in my computer desk. Now I have plenty of room around the box, open in back, and it still crashes whenever I do anything with video.
