A.c. Ryan PlayonHD + Wireless USB Dongle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have read about these boxes getting a bad rap but if you do your homework to see what these boxes can do you will see they are really quite useful. About the biggest gripe I would have from mine is that there is no built in Netflix. However I use the Playon server software and it works quite well with this unit. I installed a 1TB SATA so I can just load all of my DVD and Bluray ISO's (of which I own of course) to either a NAS or the internal hard drive through network or a usb hard drive and they play quite well. DVD's will play with menus and everything. Bluray ISO's also have Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master soundtrack support. I purchased mine with a USB wireless N adapter that also works well. All in all this is quite a nice box. A little pricey maybe but it will perform quite well if you know exactly what it can do and how to set it up correctly. For a basic box buy a Roku or Apple TV. If you want a box that will double as a NAS device, a torrent downloader and also play any media file out there, than this is your box.
