been waiting for summat like this.

If anybody aint used Boxee or XBMC as far as im concerned one of the best for ya Xvids etc, even Grabs the covers .

Boxee has yet to fail to play anything ive thrown at it

with this and a 2tb drive for possible under 200 quid, its looking good.

I was concidering netgear Duo NAS and boxee, but wife hates wires and all in 1 affair is good.

Ive tried it all Pcs Tvercity Twonky all ok but boxess direct to ya TV rocks

How is this different from popcorn hour or the playon?

Littleted

yeah nearly bought one, but it lacks hdisk

iomega has both 2tb disk and Boxee, your gonna ask me why i dont stream across my lan aint you.

well i do but with 3d 1080P even a network struggles , so a direct link from a boxee device does it.

i could however have a Boxee and a fat usb drive, but its all extra plugs and that iomega looked neat.

Western Digital are very good,look for Blue or Black serie,don't go Green series,which are very slow comparing to Blue or Black series.
Seagate are same like Iomega,very noisy 7200rpm HDD.
Samsung F3 Spinpoint are mine favourites with WD Black,Blue series

i have samsung spinpoints at the moment nice drives, although ive just learnt not RAId certified

Seagate have been bulletproff drives of old long warrenty but yes noisey.

but the playon and popcorn can take a 2tb and thats just one box or am i missing something?

(these are genuine questions not arsey one )

My Pocorn Hour is the best gadget I ever bought, had it about 3 years now and it's still yet to refuse to play anything.

Dedrater

I have an old Popcorn Hour aswell, but I wouldn't buy another, nor would I buy the one in the first link or a Boxee Box either.

µATX running XMBC, considering prices, is where it's all at now.

Ant

Do you have a link to some ready made ones?

Dedrater

Look into ASRock, review of one here,

XBMC has come on a long way since the first Xbox, I only realised that lately

Ant

I'll keep a eye on these systems, my dad is looking to change his popcorn

Littleted

nothing m8, i think Boxee is just soo simple the wife can use it.

Ive used m8 m8s popcorn its very good, But after using Boxee and the simpleton interface, Its ideal for both my kids and wife who are cough simpletons LOL

Ant

You load file on popcorn which basically you just select the cover to play
