Attractive, intuitive UI, Wide range of integrated streaming services, Very cheap
No support for DTS audio, Poor navigation for local media, Remote has questionable layout

Det finnes etter hvert mange mediespillere på markedet. Denne typen enheter møter også konkurranse fra smart-tv-er og ny funksjonalitet på spillkonsoller. En del dongler med Android som kobles direkte til tv-ens HDMI-inngang vil være en løsning for no...
