Point1: The problem that Osto even wants to clarify the help of a lawyer (why Austrians always the same for each Gedöhns court must ...), is for me absolutely incomprehensible, at least not if you stick to it, what the manufacturer even concerning these possible errors specially declared on well color-coordinated package inserts with large exclamation mark!
Of course you have a few basic things, such as can also search with a PC even when media players. The results now times from the functions so! But this is generally true everywhere! Not to follow easy installation instructions and back then rate it poorly is somewhere an absurdity.
Point2: The here so bad brandishing the firmware / software of the player's is by no means as bad as shown in my eyes. It offers a healthy mix of basic functions that would have once the masses now, and of course hiding in so extensive products from time to time errors. Windows XP is still supplied almost weekly with bug fixes, though it soon GBT Win8, but the only time on the edge! However, unlike other manufacturers Fantec constantly working on this software and in recurring intervals to see new updates with adjusted problems, new features etc .. Only recently was a significantly revised version FW providedFree that now beiinhaltet the promised Android function.
What else will be added: those who register on the official support forum, may even actively (but only to a certain extent) to participate in the improvement, where he posts mistake wishes expressed etc.! So a manufacturer conduct searches in my eyes this country has no equal, and I speak from experience! I have since years Fantec products, such as the predecessor FHDL, a streamer FHDS etc.! Even for these products are obtained even reasonable support where other manufacturers sent these devices already in the desert and would have completely put EOL.
My conclusion is certainly the 3DFHDL works exactly as it should. It is reliable, so eating pretty much everything you referred to it, has a neat speed on NAS function and streaming (wohlbemerkt for Media Player), excellent image quality and the structure menu is vorblidlich kept simple and clear! Minor bugs that has the device in the FW are steadily eliminated as I said, and at a price that is also justified (without HDD) in my eyes with almost 200 EUR.
