[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 852600, member: 325666"] I have use of many boxes and devices for accessing my huge 12 TB hombrew NAS .. These include modified Xboxes .. XBMC is superb and I cannot fault it ..but was limited to 720P at best..on a modified Xbox Asus Oplay Aldi special :- medion MD86162 A couple of older HiMedia players ..one original one clone ..and my latest purchase again HiMedia 910B ..which has a dual OS (also runs a cut down version of Android.) Android works but is very limited. All of these boxes (Xboxes excluded) can access and play 1080P ..and I have been more than happy with them all.. Main problems are usually support related ...a new codec is introduced ..and it often takes an age to include it in a new firmware release ..if ever. However I do like the HiMedia boxes .. Quiet ..reliable ..and versatile. Usually sold on ebay and shipped from the far east. I do not recommend however streaming 1080P or indeed any HD content over wireless .. You get bottlenecks and freezing problems ..if there are many peeps in your house all using bandwidth . So ..my house is fully wired with CAT cables .. Faster and more secure. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
