Friends.....I need help and xpert advice in zeroing down a good HD media player (budget is around 10k but can stretch based on VFM).
Folks here hv been quite helpful with prompt responses and I hope all the geeks and think tanks will pitch in this time around as well and help me close this.
Some of the features that I am looking at:
1.The player should be able to play/upscale multiple audio/video/HD formats.
2.Read external HDD (fat/ntfs/multiple partitions if possible) quickly.
3.Support/FW updates availability in India
4. I am ready to forego streaming features like Netflix, Hulu, etc....as I am not sure whether I should be paying for services that are yet not available. Basically my focus is more on offline capabilities of the player and converting my lcd to smart tv.
Hv short-listed few while going through the reviews from owners......
AC Ryan POHD1 (Rs.7800/-)
AC Ryan POHD2 (Rs.9500/-)
WD TV live (Rs.7900/-)
Iomega ScreenPlay - Rs.8000/-
Asus O!Play Mini - 3500/-
Amkette Flash TV HD - 3900/-
Roku2 XS - $99
Apple TV 3rd gen - $99
Popcorn A-200 - $150
Dune HD TV 301 - $180
-----------------------
Plz suggest!!
