Great thing to have. Also have it hooked up to the network so I can transfer files on my main computer over onto that so I can watch them on the big screen.

I dont mind buying something like this ( non branded and dodgy ) for 20eu, but 40eu makes me consider something more decent. If it does not work properly for 40eu, then it would be annoying. I heard there are some Android Mini Pcs. Anyone got any experience with them?
ShadowHearth wrote: » Guys, another one. I got Wifi repeater. I managed to connect it, but looks like Repeaters ip is same as my eircom rooters IP. ( Or they should be same in the first place? ) So it looks like that it is working with all devices now ( in fairness PS3 was acting out ), but when I try to get to my Eircom rooter, it goes in to rooter through ****y Wifi repeater. I cant even log in in to rooter then. I guess it is possible to to change rooter IP? Will repeater stay on that old IP and then I can get in to eircom rooter directly? Or am i miss understanding completely the way repeaters work, and IP should be same on both?

ShadowHearth wrote: » You see, that repeater uses same up address as eircom rooter. Even when I tried to change eircom rooter completely repeater would still wrap it self around rooters ip and put ita own interface, which does not work. I will look more in to it. If not, I guess my best bet is those plugs?

There is one option that brings to crawl all systems. I can't remember how it was called but turning it off brings bback huge amount of performamce and does not make game look worse at all.
ShadowHearth wrote: » Well, I am shifting my focus a wee bit. I will wait for better selection of proper PS4 headphones, so I will be bale to spent a bit more for that "magic box". I think I can go up to 100eu. I need a Device primary to watch movies on TV, I want it supporting as much as possible Video formats. Divx is a must. I will be able to use my ps3 in bedroom for netflix too. I need that device so I can free up my pc and make it easier/more reasonable to use. A remote would be a must too. the reason why I want to free up my PC, so I can let my "peasant" friend to enjoy PC gaming, it would be my "nice thing to do" for Xmas. He is a young parent and he is living from wages to wages as misses is not working and studying. He cant afford **** now. So what are the options? Maybe some of those mini android PCs?

Very responsive interface too, but it doesn't have much in the way of additional internet niceties like youtube/netflix support etc . Although mine is a very early version of it so later version might be better (Thats is why I eventually replaced it with a full HTPC). Still it is quite expensive, and although I have found it pretty good, there must be better value to be had out there. EDIT: Just remembered it was is also real pain in the ass to get it working off a Windows 7/8 share drive across a network, but perfect for USB/HDD.

marco_polo wrote: » Not 100% sure about the mini, I heard it might be a bit laggy (Not sure read up on this point) this is the one I had but like I said it was released about three years ago and not worth €100 IMO (Not when you could buy a OUYA console for another €20 or so which maks a servicable HTPC by all accounts ).
