RE: HD media player - consensus on the best?

[Paul Gale <groups2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ah - got it sorted.

I must say, these nettop boxes are a bit of a revelation to me - being used
to PC's with 1KW PSU's, this only draws 25W powered on and 3W in suspend
mode - pretty amazing.

Have you got sleep and resume sorted on it yet?

It turns off OK - but not figured out how to sleep it yet - I think it's
just a button mapping though - not sure what this hardware supports for
turning on via USB/WoL etc activity though?

It does boot from cold impressively quickly though.

Paul.
