Beats WD product !!!
Pros: - Easily handles audio codecs found in many HD formats ,AVCHD - no remuxing needed! - Can access DVD menu structures - Fat+ wireless dongles are very cheap and unit can be upgraded to wireless - No guessing which mt2s stream to select..unit sorts out video file architecture
Cons: - can not turn off standby light (no big deal) - Slow menu response but still faster than WD media player - It seems unit needs remote "wakeup" command before it become responsive. Possibly because it needs time to reprioritize CPU decoding processes
Overall Review: Theater Agent Rocks and don't understand why people recommend WD! Tried and returned WD media plus because it could not handle audio format found in HD (AVCHD) and the only workaround was to remux the audio stream. We'll forget that. Seagate handled HD audio effortlessly!!!!
Watch our for refurn RMA returned units
Pros: Shipped quickly .. must be because they shipped it locally from their RMA warehouse (used products)
Cons: Looking at the shipping address I noticed it was shipped from their RMA depot. Also the "security" sticker looked tampered with. Although the drive appeared empty, when I ran a my own file recovery I found and found somebody else's files. I DID NOT WANT A USED HD especially at the price of a new drive!!!!!!!!
