PopCorn Hour C-200 the first minutes
Just got my PopCorn hour C-200.
I also got a Sony BR-5100S Blu-ray ROM and an old 20gb sata 2.5″ hard drive to use with it. Adding the Blu-Ray player and hard drive required some fiddeling, but not too bad.
First impressions:
The good:
- Interface is snappy
- Interface is functional (no eye candy)
- Pretty easy to set up
- Media playback is good as always and supports everything.
The mediocre:
- A lot bigger than the old one,
- Front display screen flickers when text is updating
- Resume movie, that was in the old version is not implemented
The bad:
- If I try to view any Blu-Ray or DVD it crashes….hard…
- No IR remote without accessories.
Conclusion:
We need a firmware update. Why do I always have to be a first adopter :)
Update 1: 25/9/2009:
There is a new firmware available, but didn’t show up in auto update. Will try it later.
