Beard So I had a few days to test the Pro I have experience with box SDRoku Roku Player SD and loved it. I thought to solve a problem for network storage media, and the closing of a carousel Carousel DVD and CD. The good: This box is small. The box looks nice. The remote is easy to use and has special function keys to speed things up. With low fan, I just hear noise from the hard disk. The user interface is generally quick (although slowly when switching thumbnails) and startup time is fast. ISO DVDs seem to play without problems. Wireless N DVD ISO flow through without any problems. The unit found all my parts NAS devices automatically. The video quality looks good, but it's hard to say how I had to fall back to composite video, which I have HDMI. The difficult Firmware: The firmware supplied need a lot 'of work. The implemented functions are brittle something works for this file in this manner and for the next file of the same type will not. You either get a black screen that you can get out of or restart the device entirely. Currently, the device restarts all the time for me as I try something, hang it and then reboot. The device UI is designed for large screens. On my 32 ", the text is very difficult to read Will not copy files to the box without a flash drive in even if it has installed HD Music: .. The unit fails to play all the files from my Thecus NAS N2100 Network Attached Media Server. (Black) However, it will stream over the network from a PC and will play locally Jukebox:. Performance is slow Video:. When you play movies via the optical digital cable, it seems that the device is the output analog signals as opposed to digital . I suspect this because the PCM indicator will be raised by my receiver rather than just Dolby. Internet TV The implementation of the internet tv screens is badly laid out The thumbnails either do not load or are mismatched in size. Summary: The UI is several steps down from the ROKU standard I love. The reliability of just doing what is supposed to be supported is not there. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Great Player for Certain People By JJReviews This is my third media payer over the last five years or so. The first was an Mvix/Unicorn product, the second was a WD HDTV, and the third is this box. All three are good in their own ways, but this one beats the other two hands down. This player may not be for everyone out there, because the menus and some features are a little "rough" as other have said, or at least are not exactly intuitive. Put another was, this is the exact opposite of an Apple product. Note: that's not necessarily a bad thing! This is what this product does well: - It allows you organize massive amounts of media storage into one simple menu for playback on your TV - just set any folder from any internal drive, external usb, etc to the "Favorites" list. - It plays back just about any file type I can throw at it (My WDHDTV had problems with some MKV formats) - Frequent updates address many of the issues that other users have reported. Also note that the updates can de done directly from the menu (as long as you have the wifi antenna) so no need to search for a download, plug in the laptop, etc. - Internet radio, you tube, internet TV channels, etc. - File transfer feature is pretty cool - this allows you to transfer files from one place to another without the need to plug the device into a computer. For example, plug in a flash drive or usb hard drive, then transfer over what you want to the internal drive without having to use a computer. - MASSIVE STORAGE (two internal 35 bays, esata, two usb ports, plus the possibility of streaming over the network)! In sum, if you want ultimate ease of use (and you like paying $10-$20 for compressed video files) get yourself an AppleTV, but if you.
