    Re: High Definition Network Media Player

    Hey dude,

    I streamed my media to an Apple TV, which has HDMI, component and 5.1 optical audio out.
    It's a great player, and pretty damn cheap.

    Re: High Definition Network Media Player

    yeh not bad, i dont like apple all that much and they totally take the pee on the hdd prices, the extra 80gb would buy you a real world 500gb, the popcorn player seems better value as its not got the extra pricing for the piece of fruit etched into it lol

    you only need the 40GB, as you'll be streaming all the stuff from the NAS

    The A-110 get a pretty good write up on some of the HD forums I've looked at.

    Re: High Definition Network Media Player

    Popcorn hour all the way mate - I have 3 A100s and they are awesome for the money

    They play practically everything from xvid to blu ray rips

    They have just updated myihome which is nmt's own streaming software and have included a moviejukebox as a optional plugin - this gives it a great looking interface, with coverart and film synopsis scraped from imdb.com

    Im addicted to it - best bit of kit I bought this year

    I'll post some pics once my post count is above 5

    Use open DNS, its works for me

    Or you could try imagehost.org (which I prefer to imageshack anyway )
