After my old Emtec Movie Cube now but "getting old" already in the category fell, I decided to get me a replacement. The Peekton fell far as the short list because it reflect newer formats and I was able to take my hard drive. Lezteres is apparently no longer so common, because current systems appear to come only as a Streaming Client therefore - without hard drive bay. Des Peektons cheaper price favored my Kaufentschiedung, so I slammed. My first impression was so-so. Much plastic, which should not necessarily detract from the intrinsic value of the device. The remote spartan that she was at Emtec well. Although the hard disk installation went out of hand and presented no great mystery, but 4 housing screws plus 4 more for the disk tray and turn that to the hard disk mounting ... all consuming than when Emtec because the unneeded one screw and the disk was sitting still. Well, a hard disk change one does not take all the days before, so I also wanted hinwegesehn about.
That was then but no longer for the onset of HDMI signal losses. Either flickered the image greenish and without sound, or it broke off completely, so a reboot was necessary. At the headquarters of the cable it was not, which was revised on several occasions. A cable exchange did not manage change. Miraculously, the crate ran after 3 days again ... only next day to counter with sporadic reboots. After a total of three weeks now also the HDMI signal drops out again, and the box goes back. So many toads I do not swallow.
I, meanwhile, again my Emtec Movie Cube reactivated. He may be impractical altbackend terms of format support, he has a cruel UI ... but he runs. It's the least I ask.
