Lack of HD video and 5.1 audio may be a limitation of the content Blockbuster provides. If this is the case, it may be a pretty good value. It sure looks better than the Roku player.

From the MediaPoint product page at 2wire.com:

"This software platform enables a fully-converged experience of Internet video and local media on the television"

I read elsewhere it supports UPnP AV and DLNA. It also has a USB port and card reader on the front.

If this could play my existing music and videos (in H.264 and DIVX format) it would be a great device. I can't find any mention to the supported audio and video formats.
