How would you change Popcorn Hour's A-100 HD media streamer? {Engadget}
Jul 12th 2008 1:44AM I agree that this market is far from mature. The demand is there, but the available products are not there yet.
I own TViX M-5100SH. It is way much better than PCH, more stable (hardly crash), more features (cover art, ff/rewind, etc.) and good remote.
But still, there are some basic functionality that has bugs:
- Auto brightness / contrast. Why on earth they implemented this feature? It will automatically adjust the brightness and contrast which most of the time ruin your TV setting (luckily you can reset it btw, every time you play a video).
- Does not play ISO (ripped DVD with menu) quite well. 7 out of 10 will play btw.
- Cannot zoom to full screen when playing ISO
- Photo (JPEG) viewer is broken, really. It is slow and unstable.
- Cannot fast forward more than 8x because the audio timing will screw up.
Other than that, TViX is fantastic. All formats are supported. Including the latest beta that support HD audio pass-through (DTS MA, Dolby TrueHD). Yes, thats right, HD audio support.
But as you can see, some of basic functionality are still buggy.
I cannot understand that. Why is it so difficult to fix this?
And one thing that bothers me, why those big names (Sony, Samsung, Philips, Panasonic, Pioneer, etc.) do not have this kind of product??? Well, yeah they have multimedia streamer, but it cannot play most modern video file format (container), like *.MKV, *.TS .. or ISO, subtitle supports (SRT, SUB, etc.).

Jul 10th 2008 1:12AM I dont think this device can play *.MKV ... so NO, it is no use.
Better to buy PopCorn Hour or TViX.
