Re: Recommendations for a EVA8000 Media player replacement

[Phillip Harris <phil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Original scope of question:

>> I like the idea of the RSS, YouTube, playing stored movies &
MP3's etc but the EVA8000 would just continually stop mid movie etc.
>> So I need to do the above via a Ethernet connection as well as via
a connected USB drive.
>> And also prefer something slim. preferably 19" as well.
>>
>> What recommendations?

New scope of question:

> I also run MisterHouse and xAP/xPL. Does anybody know if I can run
these on the Popcorn Hour box?
> Does it have a normal XP style of operating system?
> Can I web browse with the Popcorn Box? I.e. to my MisterHouse server?
