Criteria Comments Rating
  • Media support Missing some fairly common codecs. Still, for the majority of rips it works well enough. so-so
  • Video quality No skips or stutters when playing high-quality rips or streams. great!
  • Audio quality Audio sounds great. great!
  • Ease of use Stupidly easy to browse. Add too many channels, though, and it takes some time to scroll over to the one you want. good
  • Design and form factor This thing is tiny, the size of a hocky puck. A slick little package. The remote is nicely weighted and works without line-of-sight. great!
Detailed review
A great media streamer for those that don't care about DLNA video or network drives. Can play video off a USB drive or from any number of commercial channels. Large number of off-the-record channels available online. Limited selection of games. Credit card OR Paypal account required for initial activation, but no charge.

The Android remote app is fantastic as well.

Overall a great buy for people who don't have a giant media connection being shared to many devices on their network.
