Hi All I have the TViX 5000U which means no end-to-end HDMI and no support for H.264. This is why I'm testing the Popcornhour at the moment. It's actually destined for a relative as a gift and I want to ensure it's stable.
You all raise very valid points about both products and I'll try to address them. Keep in mind I'm streaming my content from an Infrant ReadyNAS across a wired network. Wirelss and HD content don't mix IMHO. TViX ==== - I have had this for over a year and it has changed the way I watch TV. - I absolutely love it. - It's rock solid in its performance and delivers what it needs to. - Yes, the interface could be so much better (Apple is always wins this) but the breadth of formats supported make it a clear winner to me. Popcornhour =========== - This has a better user interface than the TViX but that's not saying much. - The feature list is staggering but I'm unlikely to use a fraction of them. - The whole HD thing works perfectly (up to 1080P) but I've not pushed this very hard yet. - Software still needs a few firmware releases to be completely stable. - For now I'm very impressed with this streamer and given the $200 price mark I'm in no position to complain. I'm in a position to give the TViX as a gift and keep the more feature-laden Popcornhour.....It pains me but I'm keeping the TViX. -- Kaizen28 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kaizen28's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5953 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40689 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
