| I've had one for past couple of weeks. have to say I'm very impressed with it. Comes with about 3 different cable set ups(depending on what you have at home) and was up and running within about 10 mins(most of that time digging round the back of my cable box trying to plug everything in). I think how well it works depends on the connection you are using(ie if it's broadband it should be ok). Software very intuitive and easy to use. Rumor also has it that they are developing a way to use it on the PSP as well(only reason I considered the location free player). They already have a version of the software in america to use on a pda or windows mobile. Main thing I love about it is that when you use it, it's as if you are at home with your remote. I can do everything on it that I can with my cable remote(eg watch on demand content etc) I do know everything, just not all at once. It's a virtual memory problem. |
