    I am looking at getting a new media player. I have a hacked apple TV with Boxee, which I love but it wont play full HD content also it doesnt have a Usenet client and the torrent client is a bit flakey.

    So I was looking at the Popcorn Hour A-210 what do people think?

    Otherwise should I just try to upgrade the decoder card on the Apple tv, I heard this is possible to watch full HD movies.

    Also looking at moving to Saorview with FreeSat if there was some magic box that did all this with a Boxee interface I would be very happy.

    Must haves for a media centre:
    Plays every format
    Supports SMB/NFS
    Easy to use/stable
    USB

    Nice to have:
    BitTorrent client
    Usenet client

    You'll not get one that suits all your needs, why not build one that does?

    The Popcorn Hour A-210 seems to do what I want. It works out expensive building one and I kind of want it work work out of the box (Dont really have the time to be tinkering around with building one)
