 Rating:  - Some good points, some poor!!A mixed bag. Does some really clever things, but let down by a lot of basic things done poorly. Customer service is rubbish, lets hope you dont need it (but I suspect you will)!! Rating: - So much potential wastedI bought this product with a great deal of anticipation, but eventually was forced to return it due to various failings several of which: 1) Failure to "daisy chain" on a SCART socket (demands to be the only device due to not switching off; not very energy efficient). 2) Does not stream media from Vista. Despite 2 hours of very poor support this device would not accept windows media player streaming (despite Vista seein it, it could not see VISTA). 3) Continual loss of PC when using "PCLink". This meant that the device needed to continually be added back onto the security enabled network. Not a great experience. 4) When plugged into my new shiny HD TV I got poor HD playback. It appears my 2.4Gig dual core ... Read More: Rating: - Diverse media support, poor DVDTo start with, a small clarification, this unit is not a DVD recorder. It comes with Nero Recode which allows you to convert non-copyright DVDs to Nero digital files to store on your PC. The important thing to note here is non-copyright; don't expect to RIP your own purchased DVD's if they have copyright protection. The good points: It supports a decent number of video formats, including Xvid, Divx, WMV and Digital Nero. I have had no problems playing most of my videos. I also had no issues playing MP3's or displaying JPEG's. It's easy to set up and personally I have had no issues with networking speed but I'm using the Ethernet port at 100MB rather than wireless. It just plugs and plays using ... Read More: Rating:  - Poor Poor PoorHi, This is my first review of a product and the only reason i'm writing it is so that you don't make the same mistake as me in buying it! Start With The DVD Up-scaling is a bit hyped and you don't really benefit from it except that if you use a HDMI lead and then the picture will be a little sharper, if you are going to use scart lead then just stick with a a normal player. There are several problems with the DVD but in breif; * Where are the normal DVD-features? On-screen progress bar, info regarding part length, angle selection, in movie-sound select, etc etc. As for the media player, yes it connects without any problems and see your media files, but that's where the fun stops! The interface ... Read More: Rating:  - Works a treat...I think the user reviews for this product are either 1 star or 5 stars. You either got it working or one that works or you didnt. Lucky for me I did and as the title says it works a treat. It connected first time to my wireless network and, based on some reviews, I fired up my first XVid file with trepidation. Within 5 seconds it was playing fine, I have found this with all files I have tried so far (none of this 45 second wait). The box itself has frozen a couple of times when switching from SkyHD and back with both boxes connected via HDMI but when I upgraded the firmware this stopped. The firmware upgrade also greatly improved the search facility which is fine after a short pause and now goes up to 32x. There is some criticism of ... Read More: |
