hi bro, recently I went thru 2 models of media player which are:

A.C.Ryan Playon!DVR-HD
http://www.playondvr.com/en/#info

and

WD TV Live hub
http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=570

I did a quick comparison between these models and found out that Playon! hardware seems like to be more "geng", any end user has experience with these 2 models and it will be great if bro here dont mind to share them out

Playon! hardware no geng .. nothing special. "brand" only.

Realtek 1283+ price now below RM380..

I tot Playon!DVR-HD RM600++ ?

I mean China brand ^^

o0o0 haha

the hardware implementation of Playon!DVR-HD for features below cached my eyes in which china brand do not have

UPnP Media Streaming Client
Internet Radio (by SHOUTcast)
Dual Digital DVB-T TV signal
eSATA ports
External storage systems supported:
FAT / FAT32 / NTFS / EXT3 / HFS+
NFS Client
FTP Server
HTTP Server

He meant not worth paying so much la.

And what makes you choose WDTV Live as the comparison?

And FYI, please feel free to read the comments on WDTV Live in here >> http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1629294

1)Similar of price
2)DVR-HD hardware feasibility richer than WDTV Live
3)But WDTV Live have a great support base on review I found around
4)Choppy Navigation on WDTV Live but not for DVR-HD
5)Dual Digital DVB-T TV signal on DVR-HD but not for WDTV Live

the pros n cons for each other make me come out with this thread

There is quite a bit to compare i think. What would you like to put beside your 2-3K AVR and speakers etc etc.

Few people advised me to buy this that, good value for money.

End of the day, do they but it themselves?

haha, this is quite subjective as depends on personal needs, I bought my Playon!DVR-HD last week superb and was thinking to do a spec comparison for WD TV Live hub by seeking user opinion over here

Bought already no need compare, nanti sakit hati. Enjoy wat you have.

haha, my bro nak buy as well but still in between DVR-HD or WD TV Live Hub, thats y nak compare lor

Better look for mediaplayer under RM300. Media player technology change so fast. Cheaper and better ones comes out every 6-8 months. And look for one with EXCELLENT support and after-sales service.
Or buy the high end ones that is RM1000++

Thanks for your comment, I was thinking also the technical support after sales is very important, btw any recommendation model based on ur experience? price doesnt matter

price doesnt matter? then for starters have a look here >> http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1402237 and ask them users for feedbacks.
