Thought I might guage interest on here, to see if anyone is interested in purchasing my popcorn hour C200.
Most people who use Geek day will already know enough about them, but for those who dont, its a meda player with built in hard drive and will stream videos accross the network.
I use it for the latter and thus only have an internal 60GB SSD, which I plan to leave inside.
It'll play just about every video, music and photo file format without any problems.
It'll quite happily streams 40-50gb blu ray rips accross my network without a single stutter or any problems.
PCH recently added bbc I player which ive also been using alot to watch video content, again problem free.
On ebay they're going for £200+ (most are £250+), I would probably sell on here for £150.
I think I still have the original box etc
any questions, please ask here or PM me.
Reason for selling is looking to purchase a newer model just realised which retails for £360.
This would be my 3rd popcorn hour media player (have upgraded with every new release), and there's a good reason why im not moving away from them

£360 could go towards a better TV with it all built in.

I have a 2.5k pioneer kuro.
would personally rather keep an amazing TV as just a TV and a standalone amazing media player as just a media player.

Saves leaving your pc turned on if you're only ever watching on one TV - that's why I had a A110, no-one else in the house wanted to / had the equipment to stream content. I stuck a HD inside with all my films/tv on

It will play from any connected device, i.e the internal Hard drive, a USB stick/External USB drive, network share (be it a NAS or shared folder on your PC).
I previously streamed from my NAS, but kept a small internal hard drive for the applications (such as BBC iplayer, youtube etc)

my only reason for using a rom drive is incase the misses has friends round and wants to watch a video not in my collection.
Our littleone had disney DVDS for xmas so its came in useful with that.

All my films are over the network, which is in the basement, so no added noise needed. Plus I don't have a blu ray player, so nice to know I can play them.
