Completely silent!
Yep it is about the size of a 3.5" USB caddy...there is a tiny tiny
little circuit board inside...and that is it the rest is empty space :)

If I get chance at the weekend I will try and write a mini review.

How quite is it... silent ?

How big is it , it looks to be the size of an external usb hard disk

caddy, it can't be that small can it !!

I think on balance I would recommend it....its not perfect but if you

are after a cheap device to play up to 1080p material this is the one

for you :)

No, codec support is via the manufacturer, but in saying that it is

pretty good so far mkv, ISO, vob , H.264 to name a few.

Interesting

would

you

recommend

it?

Is

codec

support

hard

written

into

firmware

or

is

there

any

way

of

adding

additional

support

for

codec's
