If you have spent any time on the NetworkedMediaTank forum (or even TheGreenButton as Accident is a former Media Center MVP) odds are you have bumped into member Accident , even if by accident!

The Direction Of Syabas

With Syabas announcing they are looking to bring a player to the market based on the Intel CE4100 chip, there has been some discussion as to what this means for the future of their Sigma based players (such as the PCH C-200 and PCH A-200 series). Syabas posted a note on the NMT forum discussing […]

Earlier this year I did a review on the Popcorn Hour A-200, and one of my biggest criticisms was the fact that a cheap plastic case and fan was used (where all previous models had used an aluminum case and were fanless). To get around this I ended up modding the A-200 with a 3rd […]

A couple days ago I posted the unboxing of my just arrived Popcorn Hour C-200. So now the question is, does it live up to the hype?  Going into this I tried to keep an open mind. I am an owner of Popcorn Hour’s A-110 and have had a mixed experience with it (device played […]
