Product Survey: Multimedia Hard Drives and Media Centres

The case, finished entirely in black brushed aluminium, is rather attractive. There's no control screen at the front, so you'll have to switch your TV on even if you just want to listen to music. Because it's only a multimedia gateway, you can't fit an internal hard drive: files are read either over the network or via the USB key. Unfortunately though, its main weaknesses become apparent all too quickly. First of all the remote control: its pocket-sized form factor isn't very comfortable to use. Worse still, the buttons are very poorly laid out and don't make it easy to navigate through the menus. And the menus themselves haven't been reworked either: they're the basic version provided by Realtek with no extras, and just the same as those on the . Like the , the onscreen interface doesn't make the most of HD televisions, without the option to display your photos as thumbnails or create an video jukebox with the cover art for your favourite films and TV series. A quick look at energy consumption: the IB-MP305 uses 9 W while in use and 0.7 W on standby. As we mentioned above, the interface is like the one found on the N200, which is perfectly understandable because both manufactures use Realtek's affordable RTD10733DD HD chip.
