The remote of the MS30 is identical to that of the Mvix Ultio.
Looks like Mvix must be supplying OEMs internationally . . . except that Mvix has never released a model like this under its own name. Wonder how all this will play out.
But I certainly won't complain, even without DTS . . . for 79 Euros!

The "Firmware Update" link above is to the Ellion website, which I take it was unintended (unless you know something I don't ;-)).
There may well not ever be any updates, since it appears that the MS30 is some kind of offshoot of the Mvix Ultio, having a very similar menu. Too bad . . . .

Corrected. Thanks for that. I used the Ellion page as a template.
From what I can make out the interface looks reminiscent of a lot of the Realteks. They are all deviations, of varying degrees, from the same core firmware.
