 buyer beware August 28, 2008
Im really disappointed with this thing. Its output is slow and the pic is dark. They dont tell you upfront that it wont read NTFS external drives so i couldnt use if for the major reason i wanted it- recording and watching of my 500 gig iomega external drive. I also thought it would be grovey if it would record all my old VHS then at least I could get my money's worth-but it wont detect the VCR and I've spent hours trying to program it. It has static white images that is murder for a plasma TV. Also, it will pick up my DVD but getting it to record took a lot of patience. The first time it would only record a few seconds- then a half hour- even when i programmed it to record longer than that. It just flakes out and turns black right in the middle of the movie. You have to watch the film on that channel while it is recording and the pic is fuzzy and dark. Just do some research before you buy something like this.
 Flexible video recorder and player August 7, 2008
The product arrived in a timely manner. I had some problems with it early on with it reliably recording. I received a replacement unit under warranty promptly from the manufacturer and now it is working very well. It is a little sensitive to the formatting USB flash drives, but once I got over that issue by formatting the drive as they suggested, it is working very well for me. I attached an ethernet Wi-Fi dongle to it and it sees my shared drives on my computer in another room. I can record to one of those drives or play any of the files on the computer. I haven't gotten MPEG-2 video to play well (perhaps the network bandwidth) but it plays all my DivX files quite easily. I don't find it useful for browsing photos on my network as it wants to generate thumbnails and these display very slowly. But overall, I'm very pleased with the product. It can let you view YouTube videos (and search for them) on your TV. It can do a lot more than I anticipated when I purchased it. Some familiarity (but not expertise) with Linux is helpful in using the unit.
Very Cool! July 18, 2008
Very easy to configure and use. The only drawback (not much of one either) is that the processor in the unit seems a bit under powered. When switching between certain functions with the remote, it can hang for a second or two making you think the remote isn't working. I have numerous DVRs from Tivos to a MythTV box. I've seen this same slow response in Tivos so it's not a big deal. I was amazed that it just worked on all of my different movie formats from AVI to MP4. Also works well with my network hosted mp3s and jpg digital pictures. Well worth it!
Quite Happy WIth Perfromance Looking Forward to Improvements June 28, 2008
I own a Neuros Technology MPEG 4 Recorder so I knew what to expect-- a product that is interesting, innovative and useful. I ordered this last March and received it about the time they were mailing out units with compact flash cards in anticipation of a firmware upgrade that was going to require a cf card in the slot permanently--Arizona, still in Beta. I set it up under Torfu. It is very important to upgrade the firmware to the latest release as soon as possible-- very easy over a network and you can even set it to check once a week or so to see if there is an upgrade available.
I have until the last year not dealt much with Linux so there is a learning curve for me-- but it is not unpleasant. (Raise your hand if you used to enjoy hunting down IRQ conflicts under Windows.)
So I have the unit set up. I have it attached to my router wirelessly now with NETGEAR HD/Gaming 5 GHz Wireless-N Networking Kit (WNHDEB111) and it does what I want-- I can stream video from one of several computers since I am currently out of the crowded 2.4 ghz range and watch Youtube if I want to. I am also transferring my DVD's to a 500 gig harddrive.
Because everything is going so well I think I'll try to break it by installing Arizona. Luckily they have very good tech support including a wiki and helpful forums.
 Poor network performance June 22, 2008

I wanted to love this device. It's open-source, it plays everything, and it even sports some sharp design. Under the hood, however, it's simply not that powerful.
Although the unit detected and connected itself to the network easily, streaming playback was simply unacceptable. The video never stuttered, but that apparently came at the expense of keeping the audio in sync.
Standard-def AVIs would go in and out of sync at random. HDTV-quality recordings would get progressively worse, until the audio was de-synced by several full seconds. Testing the network connection with a laptop showed no problems - full 100Mbps speed. Upgrading the OSD firmware - a pleasantly simple task - made no difference.
Streaming content from your home network is one of the advertised features of the OSD, so I don't feel I was asking anything above and beyond. I wanted a small, effective set-top box to stream media, but the OSD simply didn't deliver.
