Got this for my father-in-law.For someone familiar with the technical aspects of setting up computer and hifi equipment it's easy enough to setup.I myself put a 160GB 2.5 inch HDD in so I can put films on from my extternal USB HDD.
Comes with everything needed including HDMI cable and USB cable.Very straight forward and easy to use menu. Plays almost every codec out there.
Tried mkv,DivX,Xvid,m2ts,h264 so far. No problem. Upscaling is very good. No jitter or artefacts.
If you're looking for a reliable,easy-to-use player - this is it !

Amazing

I'm very impressed by this piece of kit, especially considering the small size and price of it.
It can handle most video formats thrown at it and the HD playback is a great plus (and the reason I got it).
Power usage is very low, around 10watts with an internal HD.
I think it's time to retire my XBox Media Center!
The only thing I would like to see added is visualisations for music playback.

This player managed to check all the requirements I had from such a device such as support for pretty much all modern and wide used codecs from h.264, aac, all dvd VOB files, it even picks up menus(!), to in recently released software update support for BluRay and HD DVD files and it plays all in any resolution up to 1080p,excellent output. It plays music and does photo slideshows with nice transitions. It has Ethernet network connection for connecting to the house LAN, a Wifi dongle can be plugged in for wireless connection, it supports internal hard disk and external storage through USB, a bit torrent client comes with it, software updates are released for the player.
Technically, it's a small BusyBox linux distro box and is probably very hackable. It is possible to mount it as any external USB drive for copying files to it.
Overall, very recommended little box which does excellent job playing anything you through at it in any resolution and it looks nice and is affordable.
