| Re: Popcorn Hour A100 Review: Any questions?
I'll review whatever I can get my hands on. I contacted the DLink folks about their DSM-750 media streamer last year (a few months before it was supposed to be out). That product still has not hit the shelves, to my knowledge, butthey did email me about a week ago. I emailed them back, but nothing as of late. I'll email them again about the D-Link DPG-1200.
As for the popcorn hour, DIVX is essentially Mpeg-4, and is supported, in HD, by the popcorn hour. I have used the latest firmware, but most of the changes have been bug fixes (with the notable exception of adding FLAC support). Still, music and picture playback aren't any fun, video is really where it's at.
If you are willing to put up with the cludgy interface and wired-only networking, I don't know of anything that can beat the popcorn hour for video playback.
