Pros: Small, cheap and has a good remote. The remote automatically connects to the Sony Bravia TV. Video playback is excellent through HDMI input.

Cons: USB input is on the front of the unit. its just cosmetic, but the cord to the external hard drive is not as neat and organized as the connections to the tv. The display showing your file list needs to be updated. it is very easy to navigate and find your media, but it could be a lot better.

Overall Review: People have been having problems attaching hard drives to the unit, because it only accepts FAT32 formatting. Both my external hard drives (Western Digital & Samsung) have FAT32 formatting. The only one that doesn't is the one I made myself, because I had to format it myself and I used NTFS.
