Most helpful customer reviews 80 of 80 people found the following review helpful. Works well with ISO files! It is "OK" as a media player ... Jeff ten Bosch Okay, let's get something straight right away. The largest am looking forward to this little device was about and how well you handle ISO files. I have good news, because it makes it a lot. You are currently in the ground where the ISO files, click the file. It starts playing immediately and currently works as a DVD player. I would even suggest that it is better than a DVD player that it is a very quick response to commands, like the chapter skip and fast forward. Video quality is fantastic. I have connected to a Panasonic 42 "Plasma with 1080p up-conversion is very good., As I said, I am immediately happy with this device. For me, the rest is just a 'nice to have" feature. Let's talk about the nice to haves ... The device is small. It has a door that can open the front to enter hard drive Seagate FreeAgent is not obligated to use the device at all. You can just as easy to stream music / video / images from a network device. However, the main screen there are buttons associated with the music / video / images, it will not work unless you have installed the Seagate software and synchronize with a PC (Win or Mac). At some point I will get around to install software on my Mac or PC, but I have not yet done. Connecting and turning was a breeze. It took less than 30 seconds to turn and I was ready to go. There was no setup to run long. Literally plug and play. I was immediately able to click on some of the features of the Internet, like YouTube and Flickr. Looking at the pictures in HD are truly amazing. Extremely clear and a pleasure to watch. The remote is small but a little 'cheap. This seems to be a common theme among these devices is not real, but since the remote control is not so complicated, so I think it's very easy to use once you learn the layout of the buttons. He has the common playback buttons and arrow buttons and a start button. If you ever get lost, click the Start button to return to the main menu. The only thing I hate is that the infrared sensors are not very tolerant. You have to press firmly on the remote control buttons and make sure you are pointing directly to GoFlex. No answer, so in essence, you have to wait a few seconds to determine whether or not to go to work. I wish there was a flashing LED on the device when receiving a command. The one that interests me is the reproduction of Netflix. Its operation is very similar to others that you can browse the store queue and select the movie you want to view. It is a very good job. The video quality is very good and is probably limited to what Netflix is ​​able to flow seems to be no compulsion on the device to play movies. The interface is very simple. I would place well below the quality of Roku box, but better than many other media players (aka PCH NMT or, if you know what I mean) I have tried. There seems to be a way to modify or customize the interface. There is a menu option that lets you do things like frequent check the network settings, change the video resolution, etc. .. Overall, I like the device and successfully met my needs for ISO files. I hope that future updates to improve the interface and to add other features. One particular feature that I would like to see is Amazon OnDemand. Do not use this service much, but it is nice to have when you want to see some of the most recent versions. That said, I would have no problem recommending this as a solid player with the media. It's probably one of the best values ​​for today Pros ==== - Plays perfectly ISO files - Good to movie file conversion - excellent image quality (for 42 "plasma via HDMI @ 1080) - Netflix reproduction.
