You dont have to buy it with a whopping 1TB HD for
$120 unless, you're a madman like me and actually have 800 + movies in your library. You'd survive with a smaller HD for about
$60

Those 3 is all I need to replace garbage cable TV and the monthly costs!!!
Internet + home phone costs about $65and thats all you need to get your download on!!
FIOS is the same price for Blazing internet + home phone.
I'm recommending this Media player for ANYONE that wants to play all the downloaded videos Music and Pictures in the livingroom TV, in the conference room, and preferrably with family. The player is dope. It currently plays damn near everything we currently can throw at it.

- An audio receiver is required for surround sound output. AAC/Dolby Digital decodes in 2 channel output only
- JPEG does not support CMYK or loss less.
- BMP supports uncompressed format only.
- TIF/TIFF supports single layer only.
The only downside I am seeing so far, I put in bold above. - An audio receiver is required for surround sound output. AAC/Dolby Digital decodes in 2 channel output only. This means it wont play in surround sound mode when attached to a TV directly via the HMDI or Component wires. I cant tell the difference anyway so I'd still get it LOL.
