1213461	2011-06-30 00:58:00	I brought an elcheapo one about 12 months ago and i quite like it but it has a few real flaws. Argosy model HV335T CONS: 1. It doesnt auto select audio, i have to manually chose DTS or other (dumb) 2. it doesnt give any feed back when pushing remote buttons or anything even when playing, would love to have a samll LCd which displays what its playing 3. Network is too slow to watch movies over (??) or transfer files to PROS: 1. Has internal hard drive 2. Quiet operation I am looking at up grading to the Asus O!Play HD2 anyone got one of these? Will it do everything i want? (as in the oposite of my cons) Anyone got a different make model which might be worth looking at? Thanks Gobe1	Gobe1 (6290)

I also have an old semperon desktop connected to the amp and the TV so I can stream music over my network as well	gary67 (56)
