I have received my unit yesterday.

The unit is small and shinny, but highly finger print attractive. The romote control is very responsive. Just did a short test on 720p and 1080p movies, all playing without any problem. i am using usb external hdd. To my surprise, rmvb also can be played with this little xtreamer.


Test the youtube, picasa, weather, stock etc internet utilities via wired network, all working fine. I hope they can include google earth in the further firmware.

the first -ve impression is the fan noise is a bit irritating when i set the fan speed to medium or high, as recommended by the manufacturer during playing of 720p/1080p movies.

I will install an internal hdd to test today. wireless network is a known problem and i will test it after the firmware update.

ape, which courier did they use?

they used tnt to deliver, messed up a lot for the first batch of delivery. I think xtreamer has changed to other courier company

ape,
  have u try network streaming (using cable)?  smooth mkv playback?

  how about fast forward?

thanks.

for wired connection, 720p working fine, lagged for 10801p.

for wireless connection, i din try as it has been highlighted by other users it lagged even for 720p mkv.

anyway, there will be a firmware update in the couple of weeks to improve both wired and wireless network performance.

Looks favorable review. Might get this instead of popcornhour C-200. If it can play smoothly those Blu-ray MPEG2 file (around 40Mbps video) then it's a winner. Anyway, does bitstreaming TrueHD and DTS-MA work? I'm going to get one if it can play 1080p smoothly. Those other gen NMT take around 1 min to boot up so this is quite a hugh different.
*
for loseless audio bitstreaming i din try as i dun hv receiver at this moment. cry.gif

but i saw the audio output option have HDMI raw output, and have specified in their spec bitstreaming truehd and DTS-MA are possilbe. so shld not be a problem.

Received email from Xtreamer regarding the 2nd Wifi dongle. Too good to be true. They want to charge me EUR20 for it. So I cancelled the 2nd dongle. They also indicated that my unit will ship only on 1/8/2009! Still trying to clarify as probably they have ran out of stock. Grrr!  vmad.gif

ya, it has been mentioned in their website the second batch of stock will be delivered first of august onward. the first batch is only limited to 1500 units. anyway i think this xtreamer is worth waiting... be patient bro...

ini betul ke???  tax has been taking care by sender, i.e. Xtreamer???

during the 1st batch delivery, it has been announced by the xtreamer admin.

but for 2nd and 3rd batch, they clarified that the eu country will be tax free. other countries depend on individual regulations.

for our country, it depends on luck actually. I din kena tax for this xtreamer.
