1) Perfect SD & HD playback
2) Hdmi (1.3 at least) out
3) Responsive pleasant Gui with a good remote
5) Extensive media format compatibility
6) Web Radio station Playback (Live 365, shoutcast, ect)
7) Smooth network connectivity |
You might want to look at the WD TV Live.
1. I'm not sure how they compare to the Realtek chipsets but the Sigma seems good to me.
2. sure
3. Its OK, it does have thumbnails/coverart but not anywhere near XBMC quality.
5. (what happened to 4?) Havent found anything it wont play yet.
6. wd tv live does Live 365 and youtube, I looked at it but cant see myself using these services very often. All Asus, Patriot and WD machines I believe will play MP3's off your share, This I find more usefull.
7. I had a couple disconnects after a few days of smooth sailing, I updated the firmware on my router seems to have resolved my problems.
