If you are using this on a tv from 1964 it´s your own damn fault.

The only thing short-sighted is the fact that you cannot see the advantage of upgrading your television.

Will this play 10gb plug video files?????????????

Why did they use an ethernet port? I have that drone which has its own wireless network, Some company can put a wireless network in a flying drone but these guys can't put one in a huge box next to the tv.

Who uses ethernet cables? I want my media player to use form of data transfer that doubles as a contraceptive.

I've recently started ripping my blu rays to a small WD hard drive so I could use them on this Media Player. I'm using MakeMKV to rip, then HandBrake to make the file smaller. Im getting a stutter effect on the audio, only through the media player (doesn't happen on the computer) and Im curious if the media player doesn't like bigger files. The movies files are around 10gb each, ripped down from blu ray.

I just learned about this box. It is better than roku. It will also have cable channels on it. We're working with the company. Satisfaction guaranteed!

One thing I would have really liked to have seen with this device, is some sort of Web Browser?

Something simple would suffice. Just powerful enough to utilize a Google search, email or something to that effect.

Another thing that Should have been implemented is, a Wireless Keyboard driver. Im sure the remote works well enough with this, but a keyboard would be a helluva lot easir to search Netflix and Youtube vids.

I just bought this device off of Newegg, Open Box - for $40.00. Original Price of $109. Ive bough Open Box before from them, and have always had great luck with that.

Great review of ths device, but Would have liked to have seen how a PC interacts with the device? The specs states that this device can be manipulated through your PC, and theres appearantly software that comes with it - Would have really liked to have seen that Software's conetent?

But I suppose I will find out soon enough.
