[QUOTE="Robert_E, post: 84862, member: 853"] The Popcorn Hour cannot actually handle a gigabit connection. A lot of people with connection issues solve it by switching the PCH NIC to 100mbit mode in any case. I bought a C200 probably 2 years ago, with the cheaper players available now I cannot really recommend paying that much money for it. The only thing it's got going for it is that you can plug a blu-ray drive in there (which I did), and then it's a really annoyingly slow way of watching a blu-ray... I timed it and the Avatar Collectors edition BD I got the other day takes 3:48 to get to the menu. (PowerDVD on the PC takes 1:54) A 100mbit connection is fine for streaming 1080p video if you can actually get that. [/QUOTE]
