Why Choose Xtreamer?

With so many media players emerging on the market today, how do you know which one to choose?  There is no one perfect media player for every customer.  Each unit has different strengths and weaknesses.  To a large extent, however, it is not the hardware that differentiates the different players—it is the software (firmware) and support.  The Xtreamer unit has set itself apart from the pack by demonstrating a willingness to push the envelope and pack features into this model that are only found in units that are two and three times its price—hence the slogan: “Why pay more?”
On the other end of the spectrum are low-cost units that on paper seem to offer similar functionality.  The Xtreamer, however, is  a full-functional media device, that aims to meet all of your media demands.  It includes many features not found on the lower-end units.  For example, it has a built-in web server, which allows you to access the content stored on an internal 2.5" hard drive (not included), from anywhere in the world!  There is even a full-featured app that allows you to use your iPhone / iPod Touch as a remote for the unit.  The 2.0 firmware update included features such as blu ray ISO support, native blu ray subtitle format support, and brand new HD interface.  Firmware development is ongoing: a major firmware update (3.0) based on the new Realtek SDK is currently being worked on.  This will be a major upgrade and will add many desired features.  The Xtreamer is a solid, mature product with many compelling features and great firmware support: “Why settle for less?”
