| NBOX N32 second generation Quote:
I have tried mkv avi and mpg for video, they play good on the 40" LCD via component inputs. MP3 are a pain to play if they are not located in the root folder (you need to play each song and then press forward for songs located in other folders) I have hooked it up to 1TB external USB seagate drive and enjoying the movies. Make sure you get the second generation N32 player. I believe there is a large difference in the formats supported between the 1st and 2nd generation boxes. It was purchased at ebay india. | |

With WLAN: For HD streaming over WLAN, I need 802.11n router which supports 150Mbps+ (480Mbps). I have 802.11g(56Mbps) only. So it gets frame jitter at HD streaming through WLAN. For SD no issues. Again it is not that big issue for 720p streaming. Problem is only for 1080p files. People say going to N-router solved problem for them. I have fair evidence to believe that. USB: There is absolutely no issues with either SD or 720p or 1080p. Internet: I also thought no use of internet enabled version, but now I am fan of YouTube played on large screen. Low resolution frames are smoothen out to remove digital box effects. My viewing distance is 7 feet. Also I download material on desktop and watch it on TV. Picassa website photo access is now possible. Last edited by omishra : 8th June 2010 at 17:56. | |

| What is the N32 priced at ? Quote:
Welcome To Popcorn Hour All the features and support that Popcorn hour provides are still un-matched by any other Network media player. However to leverage all the features you need to be a bit technical. Last edited by Rehaan : 9th June 2010 at 17:16. Reason: Posts merged.

1. No HDMI output, so you might not get the best out of your LCD/Plasma. 2. No Digital Audio out i.e. either Co-axial or Optical. Hence you will not get the original Dolby Digital/ DTS audio channel effect. i.e. if you are planning to hook it up to a good AVR/Speaker set. 3. Does not have any feature to upgrade the firmware, so you are stuck with what is provided with the box. 4. As updated earlier Mp3 playback does not seem to be user friendly. So if you plan to dump all your CD's for playback, it might not be easy to do so. If these things are not of much importance, then I think its a good buy.

I was comparing it to the PCH (Popcorn Hr) which I have and appears that both can pretty much do similar stuff. Does the xtreamer come with inbuilt Movie/Music Jukebox ? In case of PCH these are external free apps. i.e. I use YAMJ for the movies and MusicJukebox for the CD collection. As for firmware updates you get one roughly every 3-4 months. Only minor irritant is that, it does not let you write directly via the n/w into a connected external USB HDD that is NTFS formatted . Instead I need to disconnect it , connect it directly to the PC and transfer data. However with the internal HDD on the device you can do direct file copy/ftp/telnet etc.. Another thing is the Support forum is pretty good for this device. i.e. Networked Media Tank -Fillmore | |

The only time I am infront of the TV is during live sports telecasts. Other times I hardly watch anything. I do download movies/Top Gear Episodes and some Discovery stuff, on and off if it interests me. Watch them mostly on the laptop and thats it. So now I just want to watch them on TV because the laptop screen is too small and only one person can watch at a time. Filmore, thanks for the awesome details you outlined above about the products. Its all that I was looking for. Appreciate your time and help on this. Thanks again  | ||||||
