Review: Popcorn Hour Internet Video Player - Best Of...

[uwmbigb]

not a good review imo

[SuperPSTutorials]

@realmike15 pentium 4 can easily play full blu ray with k lite codec pack lol i've tried it on numerous full blurays with like 35mb bitrate.

[SuperPSTutorials]

@realmike15 $400-500 are you feeling okay lol? you can build one for less then $200 get a Pentium 4 processor pc with atleast 2gb ram a decent graphics card then download k lite standard codec pack sorted.

@SuperPSTutorials Good luck with the configurations. There is a lot to be said for pre-configured media tanks.

The Popcorn Hour A-200 and C-200 are about to get a brand new Flash lite based jukebox menu system called NMJ, Networked Media Jukebox. If you want to see a demo of the beta versions of the NMJ user interface, search Youtube for NMJ C-200.

[gregstank]

Agreed, if you stick to the basics and are willing to watch some youtube videos to learn some techie skills you shouldn't ever go over $400 (it also helps if you have a few computer parts kicking around as well). Just google 'cheap HTPC' to see how some people built theirs for between $200 to $300 bucks. Ohhhhhh, our friend Mr. Google. :-)

What store do you guys buy your shirts from?

[Alvin691]

@jroc261

haha... I dunno what to tell you, I have a $500 laptop that plays 1080p mkv, m2ts, wmv and so on... don't go shopping at best buy?

[xSKYK1Dx]

300$ WITHOUT internal storage!? Seriously? If it came with a 1TB Hard drive and an integrated BluRay Player (not that external drive garbage I saw) I might consider paying that much. I'm sure the price will go down after a year or so. We'll wait and see.

[themosbora]

c-200 CANT PLAY HD-SOUND FROM SINGLE FILE M2TS AND NO EXTERNAL SUBS.BETTER SELL IT FOR 10 DOLLARS NO 300

[Wndrmre]

The price tag is what's holding me back from buying one. For $300, it should have come with a hard drive and blue ray.

[ypaul123]

hehe there's a fuckingisrael cocksuckers who came up wih device that does the same shit

hahahah what a fucking joke... their piece of shit gui is really CRAPPY.. and it's so old...

fucking losers

i hope you go bankrupt like your fucking soon to be nuked CUNTry

[robox97]

The DIR-655 he is using has problems with gagabit. Use a better cable. I had to try 3 cables to get gigabit from the DIR-655 to my professional D-link managed gigabit switch.

[graphicism]

Hmm $300... not worth it. For $400 you could build a very nice 1080P capable PC that plays every format, every website; hulu etc, built in wifi, gaming capabilities... where is the incentive to buy this device? ~ I think it should be $99 and they get sponsors like hulu which in turn show more video this more advertisements shown.

[videogameobsession]

@graphicism yes, but will your $400 PC run at 4watts? This matters to a lot of people & if it doesn't maybe it should.

My PS3 with PlayOn handles most everything including NetFlix, Hulu, and even Revision3, but keeping a 300+ wattage system turned on for hours everyday can really spike your energy bills. Basically buying a set top device (I actually prefer the WD HD Live ($100), the Popcorn Hour A-200 ($179) or even wait for the new PopBox ($129) which will also support NetFlix out of the box.

[xSKYK1Dx]

@videogameobsession Does the PS3 still stream from Hulu? I heard that they killed Hulu support a short while ago.

[graphicism]

@videogameobsession

4 watts is pretty crazy, I am energy conscious but take into account the energy it takes to make metal, plastic and so on and prefer one box that can do it all; a PC does just that. I don't need an xbox or a PS3, blu-ray or a dvd player or any of these media devices...

[hogcia66]

@graphicism

you cant build a gaing rig for $400... NOOB!!!

[ROBERTLUCIAn]

@graphicism Amin!

[tigpoppa]

these idiots who review stuff didnt even talk about the formats

GO GET REAL JOBS LOSERS!

[songcovers]

i hope it plays WMPV-Xc280s v2.0's beta

[Annonymus121]

do you get normal TV ?

[elckicker]

Ps3 does like all of that

[iAmLucaz]

PCH mediafile support:50

PS3 mediafile support:2

PS3 doesnt support HDD

PS3 streams only from 1 pc etc etc etc

[avenuePad]

Like, no it doesn't. The PS3 is pretty much X264, and encoding is usually involved. I'm sure there are other apps that have improved the experience, but the PCH is virtually plug and play.

[yoyofargo]

For $300, why not just use a computer?

[drlim911]

Hi,

Does C-200 plays RMVB format as a.c.ryan does?

[mrljthedj]

can u get normal tv on this thing?

[ozzyconron]

i hope it plays MKVs

[5starrater1]

balls, I just subbed to this channel and the first thing I get is a big advert?

[guru0011]

welcome to revision3!

[ProjectRevolution07]

NICE BUT I STILL PREF MY PS3

[WeskJago]

pretty cool device. but it more inspired me to just hook my PC to my HDTV and get a wireless keyboard. i'm thinking if you use that much content, chances are you wont really have a need for this device in the long run because you already have simpler, more reliable, more efficient sources anyway

[blackgoku56]

o.o hi 2nd

[seroyer2]

Good for you?????????

[guru0011]

good for u!
