On paper, the O2media MR5000 looks like a pretty decent media centre. It has a built-in Freeview tuner for watching and recording digital TV, as well as an SDHC card reader, a VFD screen and a well-designed hard-drive loading system. It looks promising, but how will the MR500 stand up to our product test? The MR5000 is designed to resemble a classic DVD/Blu-ray player. It's well made but it isn't highest quality media centre we've ever seen. There's a small VFD screen on the front of the device, but it's not particularly useful as it only displays playback time and can't be used to navigate through the device's menus with the TV switched off. Inserting a hard drive is really easy thanks to the draw-style rack at the back of the device. Just pull out the drawer, install your hard drive and then close it again: what could be simpler? Plus, you can add a second hard drive inside the media centre. This time you'll have to take the device's lid off, but that's really not too complicated. This media centre gets up and running very quickly (around 10 seconds) and doesn't consume an excessive amounts of power on standby (1.4 W).
