    Pity, their products were great value.

    Problem is, I think people in their living rooms want slick solutions, and the AC Ryan kit was far from slick. And as more and more TVs have smart functions built in, and consoles become more connected, the products become less and less necessary.

    shame as the acr mini is a great peice of kit, used every single day for hours on end for a couple of years or so. having another make of streamer using similar hardware demonstrated best how acr got it right
