Part 1 of 2: The A-110. The Real HT Info Podcast brings you a video review of the Popcorn Hour A-110 and B-110. These media extenders costs $215 and $199 respectively, but will playback every file format you can throw at it, up to 1080p and now with HDMI 1.3 for Dolby True HD and Digital Plus bitstream pass-through. With the B-110 motherboard, you can even choose your own case, and add multiple harddrives/optical drives.

This is V2 with the fixed audio (Thanks

  • Great review. Can you access it with a iPhone? If so how well. Thanks.

  • @lumfan2 Access the popcorn hour from an iPhone? Under what usage scenario do you envision doing this? If you just mean accessing the files stored on the local hard drive, you will be able to access than as you would any other file on the shared network. I'm still not sure where the iPhone fits in however.

  • Is possible to stream PC screen to A-110 direct wifi?

  • @grandx86 Not currently, and not likely in the future. You should look into Intel's WiDi solution, or consider an HTPC.

  • @realhtinfo And with HDMI-HDMI it's possible?

  • @grandx86

    Yes, HDMI to HDMI would work just like any computer monitor.

  • Also...WD list Mpeg4 as a codec, not a container (which is incorrect). No FW updates from WD for this in 15 months either. Very poor support imo.

    Hopefully someone else sees this and it saves them from making the same mistake as I did.

  • Thanx for the excellent video. I've just found out that Popcorn Hour A110 supports mpeg4 containers that have a compressed header- Western Digital and Seagate don't.

    Why is this so important? If you've downloaded a .mp4 or .mkv video from the net which has been compressed (which most have) then WD and SG Media Players are useless.

    I'm returning the WD TV Live & WD TV Mini I purchased today to the store tomorrow and ordering the A110 tonight.

  • Yep, will play DVDs complete with menu structure.

  • Does the Popcorn Hour handle video_ts files well?
