brite-View CinemaTube 1080p HD Media Player Video Review

[azzyork1]

why not just get a long hdmi wire and connect it your hdtv? 20$ vs 60$ and no need to worries about what it can/can't support

[8LittleJ]

i can't fine the 'Bonus Features' on my Menu, please help

[anakin11380]

one feature that i would've love to have seen tested in this review is the ability to playback ISO files for dvds and blue-rays. I'd love to see if the playback is just like a dvd player (with menu, warnings, etc..).

[ghostaliaz]

Here's a tip if you are one of the people that are having any problems disable the video preview option & it will work perfectly & smooth with no issues. I have had mine for a while & yes I agree with the people that said the interface was dog ugly, yes I wish it looked better like my AppleTV 1 & 2 versions or my mac mini's running gorgeous PLEX, XBMC, Boxee, Zinc & EyeTV for DVR recording. This box play every format that I have thrown at it & it has an easy control & it is completely silent.

[redmoden]

How does this compare to the western digital TV live plus? 

[topdwnloudsound]

Jay-"zed".... Lollll!

[burtonbcell2]

@topdwnloudsound hahaahahah yes

[jens1504]

it's called a LAN cable, not internet

[travis25ist]

no

[h0rnytoad1]

Does this media box allow you to enter time to jump to in a video ? no point in going back to the old VCR days of just fast forwarding lol

[abffy1]

this device uses the same UI as the Hornettek Phantom and the Patriot Box Office

[obrj]

dude loves empire state of mind!! he plays that every video lol

[GMELECTRONICS365]

omg is hard to hear u lol

[mission762008]

Quick question...I'm looking to get something that will stream from tv to tv..meaning I only want one cable box, blue ray player. etc and let me stream it to a tv in the kitchen or gym or living room. Does this company make anything like that? I hear Air TV is such a product however I can't find any videos about it.

[martinbond2003]

How many gig is this?

[jmessiha]

have you tested it with an HFS+ formatted (Mac) drive?

[Cowboy77]

The user manual is online. Check amazon

[shimzard]

[VasiliyVorobets911]

I just order mine from Amazon got free shipping too.Total price $99.99. Tell you wat i think of it when it arrives!

[doublesizzle]

@VasiliyVorobets911 how was it?

[VasiliyVorobets911]

@doublesizzle I love it, 1080p picture is amazing,remote is amazingly responsive,I updated the firmware, which comes with new features like support for usb dvd drive and lots of other stuff too. New menu design is great. I love this thing. will buy again

[ScottLewisNJ]

[Scris101]

awesome review. you really got in depth! which would you reccomend the most? the cinematube asus o!play or the western digital tv?

[LosingMyBalance]

crappy UI

[sabaqat]

wish it could do netflix.  very good review.

[VasiliyVorobets911]

I AM SO GETTING ONE!!!!

[CFAMediaV7]

Its pronounced

"A-ch"

Not "Hey-ch"

[smittykoi]

Go for the egreat ( eg-m31b ) better quality and does the same thing and has gold connections & has e-sata2 for transfering large files :)

[bongsevilla]

I love cinema tube, I've been using it for the past two weeks now. Great qality. I got mine with free HDMI cable.

[fukurox72]

Halikanu!

[00NoRbReN00]

07:11 LOL, the usb device has virus!! (recycle.bin)

[ComedySpott]

is this a capture card! O_O

[icefenixxx]

LMAO... I can't believe he just called him Jay-Z(ed)... I know some people say Zed not Zee but that's just hilarious!

[rogel4you]

@icefenixxx

if somebody pronouced Jay-Z as Jay-Zed, I am 100% sure he's Egyptian,

[igpo3737]

Buyer Beware! This player does not work with Windows Vista or Windows 7. Network feature is useless I get "Login Failed" all the time. Playback is jittery over the 100Mbps network. Dont waste your money on this garbage!

[Klublife]

It probably is garbage but with any media streamer for best performance I would get soemthign like the Belkin Gigabit Powerline and have it streamed over ethernet rather than wireless.

Advanced sharing settings-Turn off password protected sharing.

[pigeo000]

It actually is my File at fault. Ive been very happy with the device so far... the user interface is alright though

[digzz5]

I live in the UK where online can I import this ?

[cranberyy22]

hey will i be able to go online like to youtube or hulu and watch films

[pigeo000]

Have you had any audio sync issues on mkv files like i have??

[TheBoerBob]

No audio sync issues playing mkv files for me. I haven't had it very long so take that with a grain of salt. Biggest issue I have seen with high bit rate mkv is video stuttering right after choosing or turning off subtitles. Fast forwarding gets it moving again.

[camwilmot]

no issues - it's probably your file at fault, happens.

[hydralistor]

I do have a menu in my cinemaTube package.
