I chose it over the other for the cheaper price.    This review is from: 2009 Xtreamer Media Player & Network Streamer (OLD MODEL) (Electronics) The Xtreamer and the NMT are the 2 best hardware media players out there based on frequent firmware upgrades and manufacturer's participation in the support forums. NMT (Networked Media Tanked) is the technology from Syabas that many many OEM'ers license to make their players. Popcorn Hour, EGreat, Jasmine, QNAP, Istar, Elektron, Suno, Kaifa, SnaZio, Eminent, CMI, etc. all license NMT firmware and hardware to make their players. Popcorn Hour (PCH) is subsidiary company of Syabas so it gets the firmware releases quicker than others. PCH for this reason and its broad user base may be the best NMT device to go for. The other camp is really the Xtreamer. Functionally it's almost the same as the NMT devices except it doesn't have BitTorrent download capability built-in. It has NAS, FTP, HTTP, UPnP, SAMBA. It can stream content from your PC or Mac like any other streaming device including PS3, XBox, etc. It has Internet streams and Internet Radios. As far as playing all kinds of media types, me-too doesn't cut it. 1080p materials all differ. Wait till you actually try high sample-rated stuff. The true test is something like lossless blu-ray rips. I used to own a Mediagate M2TV. That thing chokes all over the place on full sample-rated 1080p. The Xtreamer used to too. But with the latest firmware 2.0.2, not a problem anymore. That goes to show frequent firmware and manufacturers' dev team support are so important. In 2-3 months I have owned the Xtreamer, there've been 2 major releases. I'm just waiting for their full TrueHD and DTS-HD MA support. The Xtreamer is safe to get. 18 of 20 people found the following review helpful: Many features and many bugs    This review is from: 2009 Xtreamer Media Player & Network Streamer (OLD MODEL) (Electronics) I have mixed feelings about the device. Before making your purchasing decision make sure to check out the forums over at [...]. They do release firmware often but adding new features takes obvious priority. Let me list the shortcomings/bugs I experienced. 1. Wifi connection is a big gamble, it never reconnects when lost so reboot is needed. 2. SD content is upscaled poorly (blocky picture, washed out colors, and blurry edges), my 2 year old $50 Philips dvd player (which has divx/xvid support) does much better job at upscaling SD avi files. VOBs ripped from DVDs look worse than the DVDs themselves - no difference when both are played on the Philips player. I use HDMI connection at 1080i setting to my 50" plasma Panasonic TV and the difference in quality is visible easily. 3. HD content is really hit and miss - at least for me. MKVs I tried (which have DTS sound) have audio and video badly out of sync. 4. YouTube and other online sources are supported only in SD even when HD versions of the videos are available. 5. The unit hangs much more often than any other consumer electronic device I have used, especially when using network. And 6. Yes the fan IS loud - even when set to "low", the company even released a passive cooler/heatsink a few days ago. It is not listed at the official store though. ALL of the above have been discussed at great lengths (some discussions go for dozens of pages) at the forums over the past 6 months since the initial release. There are many other issues listed there which I have not encountered. You can also find there some features which are advertised but not present. All in all it seems like people who use it on wired network and primarily for HD content are quite happy. I am giving it 3 stars because some HD videos I tried did play with beautiful quality. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful: Greatest Media Player/Streamer Ever, Really! This review is from: 2009 Xtreamer Media Player & Network Streamer (OLD MODEL) (Electronics) So after several months of research I finally decided to make the plunge and purchase the Xtreamer. I have to tell you this was the best purchase I have made (audio/video wise) ever! It comes in a deceivingly tiny box, but all accessories are easy to put together and get working correctly. The remote was a big thing for me, I have had other media storage devices in the past with remotes that that are about 1 inch by 2 inches with terrible results. The Xtreamer remote is 2 inches by about 5 inches, what a big difference, not I can remain seated while pressing buttons on the remote. The instructions are easy to follow, items clearly marked to help follow instructions correctly, and total time from unwrapping the box to watching movie through WIFI from my server was about 20 minutes. I chose to connect the Xtreamer through WIFI, however there is a hardwired option directly on the device (albeit 10/100, not gigabit). The WIFI option is through an 802.11N antenna connection so the range is massive that the Xtreamer will be able to connect to. Connection to your network is easy to do, even walking through authentication steps takes minimal time, and since I am running a Windows Home Server I can view all folders on my network with media in them! The other contenders in this market (that I did research on anyway!) are Popcorn Hour, AppleTv, and ROKUHD. All have great specs and comparable features, I went with Xtreamer because of the 802.11N feature and price!
