Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased the original Xtreamer without the SideWinder passive cooling but purchased it separately. This is a great media player and plays everything that I need it to play right up to 1080p .m2ts and .mkv (I had a WDTV Live and returned it since it would not play a small number of files). There have been frequent firmware updates to fix bugs and add new features, and now I am enjoying podcasts, streaming live TV like BBC News and Sky News, and numerous radio stations. There is an active community of users as well who are making their own custom RSS feeds for "Xtreamer Live!" to add additional content for users to enjoy.
This new model addresses some of the issues that the original Xtreamer had -- a noisy fan (this new unit is now silent) and lack of DTS HD MA and TrueHD bitstreaming (this model includes the same new updated Realtek chipset as the Xtreamer Pro). There is also a new firmware in the works to include a much-requested media jukebox feature (though not necessary IMO it is nice to have).
The biggest weakness however is the remote, which feels cheap and you need to aim it almost directly at the Xtreamer. I would recommend buying a programmable universal remote such as the URC R6 (an excellent remote which you can pick up new on eBay for as little as $10), it will make the Xtreamer feel like a whole new machine.
