Popcorn Hour A-110 / Networked Media Tank

Popcorn Hour A-110 review

Popcorn Hour's media player is extremely flexible, but a bit daunting

Popcorn Hour A-110 1TB

A ripper and downloader's delight

Other than DRMed files, it'll play anything ; massive storage capacity ; excellent picture quality ; a bit cheaper than the HD Digitech HDX-1000 1TB

Could be more musical ; not entirely idiot-proof ; doesn't have an SD card slot
