The popcorn hour is probably a better choice. Its based on the same Sigma 8635 chipset, and plays all the same media types etc, but has the advantage of being able to use as a GB-PVR client (with all the normal GB-PVR menus, tv guide, recordings etc)

it's a nice box, but they've definitely played with the firmware, only thing of note i see is 'Media Center Extender Compliant'..lol
but we use GBPVR Big Grin

[so it's not a 'standard' NMT]
