The Sidewinder is an accessory for the Xtreamer that helps cool down the unit by dissipating the heat while in operation.

Dear Etrayz users,

Firmware 1.0.5 is out already few days ago.

Remember to upgrade it when free.

Read the upgrade procedures first before attempting to do it.

Thanks.

Any news on the Xtreamer Pro for 7.1 ?

yup , wondering when will release , maybe will get one if confirm can do bitstreaming

I have problem with my Xtreamer Pro. Just bought it 2 weeks ago. After watch 1 movie its gone crazy (no sound or display or tv screen flickering.) When i touch it its hot as u can fry an egg on it. Theres a fan there but its seems like no use. Im using single 2TB internal HDD and planning to add another 1. Anyone here face the same problem?

So far i did'nt encounter the problem you are facing, i add single 1 TB HDD into it, i watch few episodes drama continuously the body just a little bit warm, not that hot. Maybe you need to send back to the seller for checking.

Is the fan working? what hard disk you use?

I put 2 1.5TB HDD inside and it is just feel warm. Normal temperature.

I think it is better for you to get back to the reseller and let them inspect for you together with your HDD along for them to test.

Just bought these at LY Viewnet
e-TRAYz @ RM429
Xtreamer USB Wifi @ RM95
2x 2TB WD @ 2 x RM419
No credit card charges for the price above.

Now configuring it with 4TB.

The quick guide in the box is so bad. Broken england everywhere.

Instructions on How to open the front cover to put in the hardisk is bad. I couldn't figure out. Ended up, found the solution via youtube's ppl unboxing video.

I'm looking for Xtreamer USB wi-fi for my Popcorn, anybody selling it cheap here?

Hmm..seems like got heat problem.
Wat HD u guys use for Xtreamer Pro ?
Pls recommend

I'm using Samsung F3 1TB HDD.

Samsung 1TB, 1.5TB and 2TB 5400rpm are good choice because they create less heat compare to others. WD green not recommended because we face 3 cases of sudden lost data and cannot be recovered. Very scary. Even some NAS manufacturers also not recommend WD green.

Habis... I got 3 WD Green...

Haha..Samsung ya, how reliable is their HD anyway? Tested Seagate, Hyundai, Western Digital, Hitachi..not one is perfect

So far so good for Samsung HDD...

Samsung F3 is a high speed model...and dispense a lot of heat (but WD Blue and Black worst).
I know, I'm using one...and for a media player...no point getting a super duper high speed HDD.

The best so far is Samsung F2 (Eco version) 1.5tb....but the 2tb is getting more popular cos' of the price.
So far I've been using Hitachi..but now, I find myself with lots of Samsung F2 around. Even my 2.5inch HDD (I've 4 Hitachi) also beginning to change to Sammy.

thanks for the info guys. i'll send it to the shop and ask them to check.

How much is Samsung F2 1TB, 1.5TB and 2TB? Anyone got the latest price ?

Yeah, I even have to change back to Samsung after the porkcorn compatibility list listed WDC a bit problematic with linux partition. So far not so much heat on my cheapo playar..
