There seems to a be a lot of interest here about media players these days. So for the benefit of members looking for information about them I am going to write my impressions of this media player.
Introduction: hdvision RT1186 comes from a company (yes your guess is right, called hdvision). If you checked out the company website and concluded that it's a Chinese company, you are right again. hdvision is one of the upmarket Chinese manufacturers and has a good following in the Chinese retail market. The build quality of their products is good and there don't appear to be many unhappy customers around. The best part is that the company is quick to release new products based on advances made in other contemporary technologies. In other words, they like to stay on the top and relevant.
I bought the media player under review, the hdvision RT1186, soon after it was launched and have used it regularly since then. Barring some gotchas, this player, I am happy to say, has satisfied me. Unlike many other Chinese products I tried, this one didn't have any surprises.
