Friends,

Here is the background - After lots & lots of market search had taken WDTV Live bcoz it has RJ45 & had plans to use it as media player & downloader.
After a lots of tweaking still not able to run B RAD on it.. so sold it off.

Now hunting for a good media player again..

Here are few of the requirements.
MUST Support BT Downloads with GOOD client - Inbuilt/mod (Already using Download master of Asus on Router & Fed up of it)
External DVD Drive Support
Optical Out
HDMI Out
Normal TV Out (To connect to 29 inch CRT)

NOT Necessary Features
Internal HDD Support
NAS etc.
WiFi

Please suggest & give your views.
 
I checked it my friend..

Those details are almost a year old & now there are many new players in market.

Have already short listed few players but still not sure on BT download :(
 
Thanks Abhi..

Just confirmed that Iomega ScreenPlay Director HD Media Player can download torrents.. Looking for someone who can share their experience on it.

4 players shortlisted.

for the BT support on ACRyan POHD, pm Dheeraj Jotwani. He has been using it for a long time. As far as the player's capability in playing media files is concerned, its flawless.
 
BTW does Iomega ScreenPlay Director HD Media Player support DTS-HD and Dolby-HD Audio Passthrough ?? If not , dont consider it ...

Playon HD support 2TB internal 3.5" Normal desktop HDD , whereas Xtreamer support 2.5" Laptop internal HDD upto 500GB only ...
 
@SumitB

Yes, Dheeraj is king of ACRyan :) As of now, not thinking of it as its bit costly then others.

@abhi

Thanks for that tip.. Will keep that in mind.

I heard Iomega ScreenPlay Director HD has some problem in playing HD files.. It needs conversion.. Not sure.. .waiitng for confirmation from someone.

@vinayaga

Thanks for that idea but looking for something small to keep near LCD & can also serve as downloader..

Strongly thinking of Iomega ScreenPlay TV Link Director.. Its just 4500 Rs & company claims default support of BT download.. Any ideas ?

Anyone interested in taking the same ? can go with bulk deal.
 
I'm Planning to buy a media player. Found Xtreamer a better solution but it is now out of stock for almost 3 weeks in their site. When I checked Xtreamer.net the site showing i-Xtreamer, a new model which supports ipod and ipad docking. Any idea of the availability of i-Xtreamer in India?
