[QUOTE="archive10, post: 997712"] [USER=325666]@Vipersan[/USER]: don't worry if the QNAP is not all-singing, all-dancing. In my 35 years with tech I've come to conclude one thing: Most things do a few things well, none, and I do mean none, do all even remotely good. My ReadyNAS does "the storage thing". And does it well. It used to do Logitech media serving. But that's not supported anymore, my other logictech devices are starting to not work anymore, and the apps are removed from app stores. So it's now a NAS only thing. If you start using devices for a gazillion functions, you're prone to upgrade screw-ups, unwanted features, client support that evaporates, and general "unsupportedness". I'm now in the camp where I buy one device for a really limited number of services, and get the one that does those well. Instead of buying a NAS that spotwelds under water in addition to transcoding DVB-T signals coming in, I get the NAS that does NAS-stuff well. :) [/QUOTE]
