A post on Gizmodo has renewed my DivX interest. KiSS Technology has upped their DivX playing box and introduced the KiSS DP-558. Not only can it play DVDs, but also DivX 3.11/4/5, XviD, CDs, MP3s, Oggs, and a lot more. Ethernet ports on the back allow you to stream, and it also has a 80GB hard disk to record television programs onto.

This is huge!!! (KiSS DP-558)
But i was wondering how much "gold in Euros" would one need to buy it?
And would a Greek like me be able to find one of those somewhere around here? Or from a retailer willing to ship?
thanks
Keep up the good work!

Your friend can't have the DP-558 since it wil be released in Feb/March 2004! Network exists on DP-500 and DP-508.
Most be one of them.
For the prices:
DP-500 around 200 Euro
DP-508 areoun 400 Euro
DP-558 around 700 Euro (DVD Burner included)
These are just wild prices for the month Jan/Feb 2004.
DP-558 gues for Feb/March to hit the marker.

Hi guys, I'm from Germany. One can buy the DP-558 here since a week. The delivery time is 10 days. The player costs 570 EUR at the cheapest vendor here. A very reasonable price already.
I'll wait for the DP-588 (with DVD-burner) to come out and take the DP-558 then for hopefully even some bucks less.
The DP-588 is anounced to be here Jan/Feb 2004.
By the way: The DP-508 costs you 400 EUR and the DP-500 ist available for 230 EUR.

Hi-Jack, where can i get the 558 ?
Posted by: Mr Gee | November 30, 2003 at 10:49 AM
Does anyone know when they will be available in stores in the US? No stores near me carry them.
Posted by: Lucky | December 01, 2003 at 08:11 PM
Amazon used to have a couple models for sale but they were always out of stock. Otherwise, I've only seem them for sale in the US on eBay.

Hi everyone,
The 558 comes without dvd-burner and will be available round januari for about 580 euro's (www.nomatica.com).
I heard that there will be a 588 version with dvd burner, but on the kiss site they don't mention it.
Posted by: Frits Jan | December 21, 2003 at 03:25 AM
There is a group of people who are tweaking their kiss products.
There is a manual how to upgrade a 500 to a 508 (with harddisk).
So I guess there will be a tweak to replace the dvd with a dvd burner (558 to 588). The only problem is the software, but when the software for the 588 is available then this is no problem.
So I suggest, buy a 558 and tweak it later!
look on: www.kiss-tuning.nl

I have tryed to download the brosure and kept getting error code. Can you E-mail it to me?
Posted by: Doug Baird | January 06, 2004 at 02:44 PM
All well and good, and I'd buy one today if I wasn't such a cheapskate, but for one thing. Can I copy recorded programs from the box to my PC?
Posted by: Bjørnar Tuftin | January 08, 2004 at 02:20 AM
Does any one have the 558 already, if so how does the tv tuner work. What I mean is can u just record anything like a normal video and does it work with cable and Satellite?

I have also been waiting for the new models before getting one of these.
I saw them at CES in Las Vegas and was very impressed with the way that they presented themselves and their kit on what was a big stand for a small company. It looked lke a big outlay by them - no doubt trying to make a serious entry into USA market.
The recent KISS v MPlayer GPL mini-war ( search the news around January here - http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design6/news.html ) may well put off early adopters who are fans of open source.

It appears that the DP-558 will not hit the market before March, probably the end of March given the evasive answer of the KISS representative :(
Posted by: Dirk | February 19, 2004 at 05:56 AM
I'm whaiting for a long time the avaiblitlity of the 558 but no way to get it from neomatica enyone know somewhere is availible soon?

Does anybody know anything more about the performance, availability and price of the Kiss DP-558?
Posted by: Dimtris Raptakis | March 13, 2004 at 05:44 PM
The 508 is available in the UK through http://www.scan.co.uk,
Even though the system has an 80GB HDD, it doesn't record TV programs (there is a Q&A section at the bottom of the page) which will stop me buying one, and I don't really want to build a computer orientated pvr/divx streamer :(
