Popcorn stuff from 360 WMV thread

[CzarJunkie]

Where did you get that from CJ, I have a hankering for a new gadget!

Direct from the manufacturer - http://www.popcornhour.com/onlinestore/

Although, given the weak £, delivery costs and import duty it may well be worth looking at a UK reseller such as http://www.advancedmp3players.co.uk/shop/

Cost me £186 inc delivery, but there'll probably be some import duty to pay, there was with the A100.

[CzarJunkie]

I'll give you a tenner for one.

Think I'm going to mothball them mate just incase anything happens to the popcorn hours and I need something to use. Although, once I retire them I might let one go. I'll let you know.....

I got a old xbox lying about ready to go if you want it bert ?

i ordered from there the other day mate, worked ok for me, yeh using the hotukdeals code and quidco, can get it just below £180

bit as you say end of Jan is the expected date, they don't charge your debit/credit card until they dispatch which is nice.

reason why i went for a UK supplier is if the unit does go faulty, the postage to US is ridiculous, so pay a bit more and buy from UK.

only 3 weeks to go!

A-100 or A-110??

neither, hdx1000.

if you pay by Paypal they will charge you now for it, its only if you pay by Credit/Debit that they charge on dispatch. So worth grabbing ya card and ordering

Don't think DTS downmixing/decoding is supported yet by the HDX1000 (or maybe needs a newer firmware)?

Assuming of course you're not passing the signal via an AV Amp with DTS decoding?

has anyone tried adding bbc iplayer on the weblinks section.

yeah, you're right, works fine through the amp, just not through tv speakers. The option is greyed out on my box for Analogue.
