Hi,

Im looking for a device that will stream netflix et al in full HD but also connect to my home network and play music movies etc in a whole range of formats.
The Roko is cheap and apparently a great streamer, the Popcorn is expensive but apparently a great network media player and the Popbox seems like something in between.

Has anyone any experience with them or similar ?

I dont have a PS3 or Xbox and what PC's I have would kill the leccy bill. Also I will be building a NAS in the future.

Hope this is the right forum for this.

Thanks

FWIW: I have a Popcorn hour A-110 (which is an old model).
It has not had an update in over a year and is considered orphaned.

It was a hell of a kit in its time but I think devices like these have had their time and homebuild/cheap media clients in front of a NAS are the way to go.
