I'm not sure about mkv playback. I'm guessing not at the moment. The thing which makes this deal attractive however is the dual playback feature. I bought a PVR-HD set top box from shoppingsquare a month back or so and was frustrated when couldn't play vids on computer (with no intervention) so this is good to go straight away, and particularly useful for less tech-savvy people.
And yeah, first post. Go hard cos that's the way I like it ;)
Playing videos on your computer is nothing to do with a pvr, do you mean this can be an external drive?
Playing videos on your computer is codec related normally and if you have vlc then you have no problems mostly
