Popcorn Hour A110

With unprecedented file format support and a host of functions, is this the ultimate multimedia player?

The Popcorn Hour A110 may not be the most attractive media player on the market and there are cheaper alternatives that support as many file formats and codecs but lack the internal storage and network connectivity. However, if you want the ultimate...

Popcorn Hour A-110 review

Popcorn Hour's media player is extremely flexible, but a bit daunting

Powerful and flexible ; Firmware is updateable

Inadequate manual ; Steep learning curve

Popcorn Hour A-110 1TB

A ripper and downloader's delight

Other than DRMed files, it'll play anything ; massive storage capacity ; excellent picture quality ; a bit cheaper than the HD Digitech HDX-1000 1TB

Could be more musical ; not entirely idiot-proof ; doesn't have an SD card slot

Popcorn Hour A-110 1TB review

It boasts massive storage and enough format support to make Steve Jobs's eyes bug out, but can the A-110 wrest the media-player crown from Apple TV?

If you’re a rip-monger or a download fiend the Popcorn Hour is a fine media streamer – if you don’t mind slightly lacklustre sound
