From all the reviews I have read is the mediaplayer is awesome plays everything, PVR feature is good, bit the epg is awful.
At this price it's a bargain
Chewman on 27/07/2011 - 14:44 ¶

absolute bargain.
I bought the single tuner version 3 weeks ago at $135.
Beaut of a unit, but as said, epg kinda sucks.

Great deal. Only negative I would say about this unit is HDD storage is external (i.e. no internal HDD capability like the AP-360T or AP-380DT).

  Thats actually quite a huge negative, its a dual hdd tuner with no internal storage hmmm a bit weird..
  - stebie on 27/07/2011 - 15:15 ¶
    
    I agree… possibly why it's a fair bit cheaper than the AP-380DT.

  it has USB /and/ eSATA. Buy a cheap external USB HD and use that. Cheapest 1TB USB HD that I see is $49. That makes this $175 vs $250 or so for ones that come with the 1TB HD inside.
  
  IMO not having the HD in the tuner is a good thing and therefore a plus.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_motion_compensation
    
    "Global motion compensation (GMC) is a technique used in video compression to reduce the bitrate required to encode video. It is most commonly used in MPEG-4 ASP, such as with the DivX and Xvid codecs."
    
    Worth noting: "Due to the extra decoding CPU cost of global motion compensation, most hardware players do not support global motion compensation."

      Interesting, I imagine some of my 'videos' would likely have this. Owell I guess I might get this anyhow.
    - stebie on 27/07/2011 - 15:26 ¶
      
      You may be able to use tools such as GSpot and MediaInfo to determine whether GMC is used.

      only other thing is some players dont support all formats at full HD… some only support them at 720P worthwhile checking out.
      
      thats why i love the media centre so much.

I wonder if it could record to a network share instead of an external hard drive?
- stebie on 27/07/2011 - 15:29 ¶
  
  Looks like recording to USB or eSATA connected storage only.
- seb on 27/07/2011 - 15:31 ¶
  
  well it does have network functionality for playing media files.

hmm.. staticice has a number of retailers stocking it for under $120 (lowest at $114), assuming you can pick it up from the shop (ie. not taking into account of any delivery fees).

wonder if xpmicro will be able to match it? ;)

shipping is a bit steep
MtlOz on 27/07/2011 - 17:12 ¶

Does it support wifi?
Any specific dongle?
A link to the manual would be good!
realrift on 27/07/2011 - 18:22 ¶

To xpmicro: Thanks for this. Is it possible to get a deal on Astone 360T? $100 shipped =)
the discombobul... on 27/07/2011 - 21:57 ¶

Does this thing use a fan? Last dual tuna (ahm) pvr i got was so loud I had to return it. Don't want to bother with that again.
NeBlackCat on 30/07/2011 - 17:24 ¶

Can these things stream live DVB to the network, eg. to a UPnP/DLNA client?
