HD Media Player Battlemodo

puts the most popular media streamers/players to the test

Looks like the PCH is king. The one place they said it sucks is the interface, which is easily fixed by installing YAMJ (which is 100% free).

I do agree that the $300 C200 is way too expensive. That’s why an A110 for $215, or a refurb A100 like I got for $100 is so much better. Haven’t had the remote problems with mine, other than needing to aim it pretty well. The aiming is a problem with the tint on the plastic window on the unit though and I’ve read that a little acetone on a qtip fixes that in about 15 seconds.

I find it a little weird that the first table shows the PCH winning most categories, but it took 3rd overall.

Smell something funny there?

It’s too bad PCH doesn’t find a way to include the YAMJ interface with the system. That’s what really makes it awesome.

My guess is it lost major points for it’s stock interface, which is pretty much identical to browsing file folders in windows.

yeah, I figured it would probably be like that

it’s my main complaint with XBMC

i am still trying to get use to get everything to work right with my PCH but i love it so far
