I'm not a big TV watcher, so at the heart of this I know I'm not the right person for this product. However, even I found the features on this device easy to use, and useful in certain instances. The scheduling part of the software is fully fledged an...

We loved AC Ryan's first foray into media extenders. The PlayOn!HD Mini walked away with the PC Format gold award thanks to its intuitive, focused way of trivialising the whole process of getting media from your PC onto the big screen. Its latest box...

Inside 2010 we have seen the introduction of more Media Players and Recorders than both 2008 and 2009 combined and personally i think that has proved to be a very good thing for the end user since competition has managed to lower the prices...
