Hi,
am really torn apart at the moment on whether i should buy an HD media player, or just my jailbroken PS3, alongwith 'showtime' would suffice. i will enlist my requirements and doubts below. kindly suggest/add-on wherever you feel necessary :
1. i dont need any kind of networking solution with my media player.
2. would use with a panasonic plasma TV (50VT20) and a 5.1 speaker set-up.
3. if HD media player, i would like to spend something around 7k, but dont know which one to buy amongst these :
a) WD TV Live - good reviews; issues with real media content
b) asus o'play mini - good audio out; but only 1 usb port and slighlty sluggish in the GUI.
c) amkette flash tv hd - good upscaling, comes with hdmi cable; but again, only 1 usb port, dont know about audio out.
d) playon hd essential - extensive format support, 2 usb ports, int HDD; very noisy, sluggish in operation.
4. MOST IMP - since i have a jailbroken PS3, would considering buying a stand-alone HD media player be a wise move ?
please guys, suggest something. waiting eagerly for response
