Hi there, Just some question from the user here before I decide on the unit.

How's the online radio channel fair from this device? Or even the internet TV channel, is there such a thing?

I expect to use quite a bit on internet radio channel other than just streaming the multimedia files, thats why I ask.

Besides, can the HD Pro function well WITHOUT a hardisk inside? I already have a network NAS in place.

I try my best to answer....
The June10 OEM firmware has lots of online TVs & online radio.
For online TVs & shows, I'd tried some, most of it works, but the problem is the SlowMax (Streamyx) which caused problem on some higher resolution shows, I haven't tried on UniFi, hope it's better.  For normal low resolution TV shows, YouTube, PodCast, no problem streaming.

For internet radio, also a lot, I like the Akado radio channels http://radio.akado.ru/
I particularly like the Smooth Jazz, The 80's, Love Pride, etc thumbup.gif
So far I have been playing every night for hours without major problem, once in a while will drop, but I suspect it's due to my network bridging and SlowMax problem.
You don't need to put any internal or external HDD,  the HDPro box itself already can go internet TVs & radios  thumbup.gif

For me, definitely the HDPro entertain me a lot more and the price is very reasonable, my only wish list now is to have UniFi quickly launch at my area  icon_rolleyes.gif

Thank you very much for your answer. smile.gif

With regards to internet radio, can you manually add new radio channel as it comes along ? Or we have to rely on firmware upgrade only ?

I do agree that some radio channel do need constant stream of high speed broadband, unifi should do the trick very well. I am also waiting for that service to come to PJ.

klseet, thanks for your effort. Truly appreciate it.

Looks like high speed broadband is a must to make full use of this device.
