#Best Media Player I have Used (2009-07-01) Popcorn Hour A-110 HD Networked Media TankThis is the best media player I have tried, every format I have tried with it works. The menu is so easy to use even the wife can do it! My only criticsm and it is a minor niggle really, is that is doesn t support MAC OS formatted external drives. I m hoping this will be available in a BIOS upgrade soon, but apart from that it is plug in and go. The one think I really like is the remote control which is well designed and the fact that the unit is really quiet in operation.

#Good when it works but very unreliable (2009-06-27) Really good for storing movies. Adequate for music and photos. Don t bother with the online media feeds - they aren t very good. When it works, it is great. Very good picture over HDMI. Very quiet, even with the optional hard disk installed. The reliability of the device is suspect. Mine lasted 9 months before dying. From reading the Popcorn support sites, many other people also experienced the green screen of death . If they can sort out the reliability issues, 4 stars, but for now just 2 stars.

#Good but not perfect (2009-05-25) I took delivery of the pch a few days ago and on opening the product i find there is no uk power lead! so i had to raid a spare pc i have for a power cord, not a great start. I bought a 640gig hard drive for it that was a breeze to fit but not so easy to set up. The pch comes with no instructions on how to set up the hard drive with the device so it was a case of going through the web to find out how to using a usb key to format and set up the file system. Once set up the pc does not recognise the internal drive so you have to find a program so a wi...

#Excellent... but not without niggles (2009-03-09) I ve had one of these for three months, and I absolutely love it. It s allowed me to back-up nearly all of my 690-disc DVD collection onto four hard drives and send my discs into storage. Anyone with needs similar to mine should look no further. BUT, bear the following in mind:1. The machine is not a typical white good . You can t just plug it in, and go. It ll take a couple of hours to set up. If you don t have patience for technology, give this a miss. . . or maybe get a more patient friend to set it up for you!2. Firmware up...

#Does what it says on the tin. (2008-12-05) I have had a few media players in the past and all have had some bad points. But this one I have no complaints at all with. It plays a very wide range of formats from avi, mp4, mkv,iso,img, h264, divx etc the list goes on. Both video and audio are supported very well. So are some internet streaming services just too much to put in a review. This unit does not have wifi but there is a USB Wifi dongle available also specifically for the A110 HD. Plays from PC s, Media Servers, or Straight from a UPnp NAS drive. Great product far outweighs...

Going cordless means no trailing wires and a tidy desk. The toughball has an inbuilt Optical Trackball (mouse). as as you move, the mouse and keyboard moves with you. Ideal for those who like to sit back and have everything at their fingertips. Finished in a tactile rubberised finish, the Toughball not only feels good, it has a range of upto 10 meters.

#I have 2, excelent, ergonomic in use (2009-06-29) I have 2 of these keyboards, and I think the ergonomics for my big hands is great. I note that a few people have had problems with missing characters and mouse operation intermitant, I have experienced this but it occurred when copying large files over wifi network connection,I had a wifi hub and 2 wifi networked computers next to one another at the time with this keyboard controlling one pc, all using 2. 4ghz this appears to drown out the keyboard, under normal traffic I have no problems.

#Trackbal keyboard (2009-06-21) A most excellent product. Worked straight out of the box. Mouse is very resposnsive and the best bit - no drivers needed. Good on batteries too. Recommend this product for the multimedia centre PC s. .

#Great TV PC lounge keyboard (2009-06-16) This keyboard is great for a Pc connected to a TV in a lounge used for web surfing as mine is. I have not experienced missing letters and find the tracker ball infinitely easier than a mouse when sat on my sofa.

#need to get used to (2009-06-13) Overall I like it. Having click buttons and scroll wheel on the left need getting used to. First time using a trackball. I wish I could tap or click it though. Return key can be bigger but that is not a major problem. Reasonable value. Good size, responding well. (Note: I am only reviewing for normal keyboard use rather than game use) Amazon sent me within 4 days from purchase. Thanks.

#Expensive but good, even under Linux (2009-06-11) I ve been using the keyboard in my living room on a Mythbuntu box for a few weeks now and find that it s not half bad. OK it does miss the odd key-press from time to time but nothing I ve found too frustrating (certainly 98% accurate) and the mouse does take a little getting used to - so it s not for gamers (but that shouldn t come as a surprise to anybody!)It has a number of special keys, namely for Browsing and a Media Player. These mostly work under Mythbuntu*Backward and Forward work just fine*While the Explorer button does nothi...
