Hi TS
I dont have much idea about media player. From my understanding I can download/streaming HD movies using pop corn device? Say I want to watch Avatar in HD, I can do searching for that title using this media player and then download/stream straight away?
Added on June 15, 2011, 2:17 pm1 more question. What's difference beteween pop corn and asiabox?

QUOTE(go4pch @ Jun 16 2011, 10:55 AM) First of all, the media player capable to perform downloading + streaming. In order to view HD 1080p movies online you required very high-speed lines. The player come with BitTorrent features so you can download any movies once you uploaded the torrent file. Currently Popcorn Hour doesn't support PPS streaming only Asiabox support because of licensing issue. Some said 1mbps line can stream the movies smoothly but I doubt that. You may need at-leat 2mbps or higher or better unifi. You may check on the wiki below: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-definition_videoAsiabox and Popcorn hour is under the same company or not? A bit confuse here  Btw, I'm gonna use 20mbps connection so I believe there will be no lag issue. Thanks for your reply.
Added on June 16, 2011, 11:58 amMay I ask you a question. What is NAS actually? Some media player is NAS some are not. This is what I found when I survey some player in this forum. I know NAS stands for Network Attached Storage but I don't really have the idea what the use of this thing. Mind to explain? Thanks again  This post has been edited by mutt: Jun 16 2011, 11:58 AM |

QUOTE(go4pch @ Jun 16 2011, 12:53 PM) To be exactly what is your need for the player? What type of movie you view the most (HK series/hd movie)? To what am understanding Popcorn Hour developed the software for Aisabox only. So, Popcorn Hour & Asiabox are 2 differences entity. As for NAS, it is used for storage of your media and for sharing among multiple devices. NAS operates as a File Server for you to stream from the player to player or PC. You can wiki for more details. oh.. now I got clearer picture. . I want to watch HD movie. Not interested with drama or tv series. I think that's all.  thanks  |
