Does what it says!,
I was very pleasantly surprised by this product, as it actually delivers what it promises. This is an excellent device that turns your USB stick or SD card into a media player. It’s easy to use, versatile and should be particularly handy when one has to travel. I would like to make some recommendations however:
1) Put your files you intend to play on a USB stick or SD card as it would take endless navigation from your Hard Drive (especially if you have a lot of files and different file types) as the way it organizes your library can be problematic.
2) Keep your file names simple as you don’t want to experience problems.
3) Buy a HDMI cable, the picture & sound quality improves (which is obvious)
4) Be careful, the system doesn’t play some AVI files so double check with the supplier what files type it plays & it fits to your requirements.
Apart from that, it’s really a cheap & cheerful Media Player which can do both 1080i & 1080p.

Great little box, but needs some minor adjustments…,
I am very pleased with this little toy after only two days. It does everything I expected it to and does it well. The 1080p upscaling is more than acceptable. The GUI is a little kludgy but it’s okay once you figure it out. Keep file names as short as possible to make it easier on yourself. I’ve successfully used a USB flash drive as well as a 16gb SD card (like you’d use in a digital camera) with no problems at all, although the SD card slot doesn’t have a spring load in it… it just kinda slides in and sits there.
The only reason that I gave it 4 stars is that the tiny remote button labels are printed in a fairly dark blue on black and is VERY hard to read unless you are in full light. I’m also less than enthused that it doesn’t handle a few very common video containers like MKV, MP4 and MOV. I knew that up front though so it wasn’t a surprise. I also see in the setup that you can see what version of the software is installed but the sparse manual and website make absolutely no reference to updating it or if it’s even possible. One other minor nag: Subtitles are defaulted to “ON”. No biggie… just a push of a button on the remote but still an annoyance. I’ve also recently noticed that file management does not work correctly. For example, if you delete a file it does indeed disappear from the on-screen list but it does not rebuild the file directory. I deleted several 2gb+ files and when I took the flash drive back to my computer they were gone, but the space they occupied was not available and I had to reformat the drive to reclaim that space.
All in all, as long as you are aware of the shortcomings and they really won’t affect your needs, then buy it! It’s great so far! I will update my review after 6 months or so.
UPDATE Dec. 27: Didn’t take 6 months after all! I am returning this box and dropping my rating from 4 to 3 stars. It still performs great for short usage but it overheats after an hour or so. In turn, it overheats the USB flash drive and then it locks up. The only way around that is to unplug it and give it time to cool down. I did have some success using a short USB extension cable to get the drive away from the box but that is one too many bandaids for me personally. I decided I want to upgrade a bit more and get something that also plays MKV’s, MOV’s and MP4′s so I’m trying out the Western Digital WD TV HD Media Player:
