Hi, long term SB user here. Like many others I love what it does for your lifestyle and wanted to do the same for video. After lots of research and watching the video streamer scene slowly develop, I recently bought the EGreat EG-M34A: http://www.egreatworld.com/en/ProductShow.asp?ID=168
It's a Popcorn Hour look alike except cheaper and possibly better built. After a bit of fun getting it working with my existing kit (I run a Mac household, most in the PH scene are PC oriented) I'd have to say that for the price it's fantastic. Very basic user interface compared to SB, but because video tends to be "select one and watch for ages" rather than the extensive browsing, playlist building, etc that SB encourages, I don't need a fancy interface. What it does excel at is streaming almost any video format over the network and playing it beautifully. It also allows streaming direct from youtube which is lots of fun. Highly recommended. grum -- grum ------------------------------------------------------------------------ grum's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17720 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40689 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
