Viewing and recording digital HD, recording external sources, HD video playback and networking features: this is what the Emtec Movie Cube V800H promises. Add to that a control screen, an SDHC card reader and a competitive price tag and you have a media centre that, on paper at least, seems to offer a pretty comprehensive service. What will this mean in practice? The box looks good and is well-assembled with high-quality plastics. The first negative point quickly surfaces however as it makes a lot of noise when you turn it on. This is down to a particularly noisy fan which you can't turn down or off. The noise is such that it remains audible even when you're watching TV at average volume! There are some good ideas all the same: a control screen allows you to navigate across the different menus without having to turn your TV on if you want to listen to music. While it is legible, it's a shame that it's an alphanumeric screen (like on old car radios) and that it's limited to the display of 8 characters. In contrast to the centre itself, the remote is a bit lightweight. Handling isn't ideal and it has neither backlighting nor luminous buttons. The navigation interface is, according to us, the very example of what you shouldn't do: Emtec has used the interface supplied by the chip manufacturer and only added their own logo.
