Negative Positive
Title: Lies, damned lies, and politics?
Review: Those reviews were probably made by the manufacturer. It's a suck a*s piece of equipment. They would have been better off ripping off source code from Freevo or MythTV to make it work. Browsing the internet blows, it won't pick up network shares via SMB like my Roku HD1000 does. It won't output on Component. S-Video outputs in 4:3, composite outputs widescreen but overscanned. VGA outputs fine. There was a loose screw in my review unit. The DVD drive is misaligned and is picky about ejecting. The hard drive is a WD and was improperly cabled and jumpered as cable select. Only 128MB of RAM. What is it good for? Hacking it!! That'd be about it. I'd double the RAM, throw in a Seagate drive, and install Gentoo with MythTV if you could. The box is nothing more than a 1Ghz C3 (think Mini-ITX) with fairly standard components. That's all I can say without ranting some mornotanatheist@yahoo.come.
Is the review positive or negative?
