I would like to say that the review team did not touch on the 2 features featured in the O!PLay HD2.I bought it because it has these 2 features and they are DMNA and UPNP.I tried its DLNA feature with my HTC Desire HD and it played the video I sent to the player...I've also tried playing flv format on the player but it seems unable to recognise the flv format...another thing that I find not up to standard is the NAS function.Copying a movie file(usually quite large)is very slow via LAN.My WD My Book World is faster as an NAS.In any case,I am quie satisfied with the machine as I play mpg and avi files most of the time.I have a harddisk in the machine and I used the USB 3.0 cable to transfer my movie files into the harddisk and it sure is much faster.
