HDX 1000
The Showcenter was giving me a lot of trouble with discovering the UPnP server of my NAS, and also other UPnP servers installed on my home network. After doing careful research online, I decided to go for a Networked Media Tank from HDX, the HDX1000. I ordered it directly from their website; it took about three weeks to get to the Netherlands.
Installation was straightforward – so far it’s been working great for me. Finding network disks is no longer a problem and it plays hd-content flawlessy. To avoid hickups in HD-streaming, I did connect it using LAN and not wifi.
I had some issues with the screen going blank at the end of a movie. An HDMI issue apparently. I switched to component output and everything works well. The most recent firmware update fixed this. Best Media playing device so far.
necessary improvements:
- better playlist support for audio playback
