take note ac ryan currently has 4 models:
1. pohd2 (there was old pohd)
2. pohd mini2 (there was old mini)
3. essential
4. veleo

the mini2 is powerful, good enough all round. pohd2 same as mini2 but has built in hdd option.
both pohd2 and mini2 have pre-programmed internet access to some features only - youtube, podcasts, news, weather, radio but not www access. has bittorrent download feature.
essential is cheap but does not have lan-nas functions - a pure playback model.
veleo is new and smart (I'm considering), has better internet access via keyboard but does not have dts hdma audio found in pohd2 and mini2. supposedly can stream video direct from www, dunno at what video resolution and audio.

you can post questions for our inhouse specialist boxb at ac ryan thread; don't want to hijack this thread!

Get an ACRyan Mini 2 is you don't need 3D playback or an ACRyan Mini 3 is you need 3D playback.
