Hi,

I recently purchased the latest copy of WHAT HIFI as I am interested in moving from my self built media centre to a Streamer and a Blu-ray player as the amount of up keep etc. is too much.

The reviews on the video streamers were certainly interesting and the LACIE looks like a smart bit of kit, especially with the 1TB included but not really what I was looking for as I have a 2tb RAID 5 un-raid server that I put togther with bits of old PC's. As such, i continued a search and came across this.

http://dune-hd.com/hd_players/111-dune-bd-prime-3.0.html

From the spec listed on the site, it certainly looks the part and has all of the functions that I need and more. Additional options boast WIFI 👎 and an additonal internal 2.5 stroage disk !

I would be interested to see if anyone has one of these and if there are any plans to test it in future issues.

Thanks
 
Hi,

This is avaliable through a number of distrubutors in the UK.

Won't link as unsure if ok in this forum, but cost is £389

Thanks
 
I would certainly like to see a comparision as I was unaware that PS3's could support all of the Audio and Video codecs that this has in it......

Hmmm i seem to remember reading something about these players a while ago:
http://community.whathifi.com/forums/t/255457.aspx
There prices seem to have come down by some margin, looks good...
 
I take it that you didn't get one then ? Did you find anything else comparable back then ?

As you say, the prices have changed a fair bit now.........

No i did'nt get one, i was looking for something to put my dvd movies onto, movies that i probably wont buy on BluRay so got a WD TV Live....

That player looks great though......
 
Yeah, I'm looking for something similar and this seems to do the lot from HD audio decoding to ISO playback over the network, and access to EXT3 and NTFS file systems.

My XBox broke, and I miss being able to access my films on the network instead of from the shelf. However, the quality of my XDE500 does seem better, so I thought I'd wait for a proper player instead of going for a computer solution, (though I was tempted by XBMC on the ION platform).

The PS3 seemed a bit too limited for me, though it does have gaming and potentially 3D.

I think similarly to music playback, video is also moving to having the software on the network, especially with downloading coming more to the fore.

Hope the quality of this player is good. On other forums, people seem hapy with it.
 
No, just have a credit card burning a hole in my pocket.........

If it was going to be up to a week, I would bought it myself and sent it in for testing.
