This is one poor company, full of imperfections.
I also bought a BD1, this full of problems and bugs.
Who does not exist answers the questions and information, a called person Alex only answered some mails, but it has one 10 days that simply it disappeared.
In the forum of the HD1 this completely abandoned.
I believe that this cia has declared insolvent I goes to give to a blow in all its users.

I RECOMMEND STRONG TO THAT THEY DO NOT BUY NOTHING OF THEM ABSOLUTELY.

IF SOMEBODY STOWS WITH PURCHASES EFFECTED THAT PROCEED TO THE CANCELLATION.
THE PAYPAL CAN AT ANY TIME BE CANCELLED.

THEY DO NOT LOSE ITS TIME THAT THESE OUTLAWS.

Sorry my english, i am from Brazil.

Tks.

5 months later, the Ethernet still works at 50 Mbps instead of advertised 1000 Mbps.

Although the hardware itself shows great potential (a very cool processor, nice packaging), the box in its present form with firmware 4.9 is simply not usable. Very basic, essential low level functions simply don’t work.

I posted in pretty polite terms on their community forum site and found my posting was quickly deleted (a violation of their site rules, they said). I was asking management to be more open about the firmware progress rather than promising and then blindsiding users with additional delays. Since my purchase, HDX has kept rolling back the date of their release of the next firmware, leaving purchasers hanging in stasis.

HDX clearly donesn’t want negative issues posted. I'm not naive about how business' need to run but I was truly surprised by their management's heavy handed behavior which I see as highly counter-productive. That said, not only did my posting get deleted but private messages that I sent to other users were read by management and flagged similarly, as a violation. Dealing with technical and customer relations issues by censoring postings is not an impressive way to run a business.

Google the web site for "networkedmediatank" under "Other NMT Mediaplayers", you'll get a taste of what's going on with the company.

Additionally, HDX's own community forums still have enough up there to raise the red flag...

"I have a HDX-1000 and while it's a great machine, HDX are sooooo slowwww at bring updates. I think this is one of the many reasons why I didn't buy BD-1. I bought a Popcorn Hour C-200 instead and very happy. I will never buy a HDX again. sorry alex , but I've been burned way too many times buy your machines."

"I had been quite enthusiastic and unfortunately already purchased two BD-1 in January - which are still of no use at all due to the network issues. However, I had been planning to get some additional units but actually the FW thing is preventing me from doing it."

Additonally, from what I have read on their forums, RMA issues are not well handled either. Since there are alternatives to the HDX from companies like the Popcorn, AC Ryan and Dune. Some of them (like the Popcorn) have a much larger user base and clearly a better attitude toward their customers.

The CNET UK Review states as follows, "the BD-1 uses Universal Plug and Play to get media from servers on your home network." is this still the case? UPNP is the problem I have now with the PS3, Not a good solution if you can't access the files directly on network shares (WHS in my case). This box is/was in my top 2 pending the release of the popbox and Dlink Boxee.

HDX website announces a major update coming in April.

1) A brand new UI, that works like XMB (think PS3 style)
2) Overall network stability and improving network streaming througput.
3) Support wifi via USB dongle
4) Support local hard drive installation wizard
5) Resolve overall playback stability of content
6) much more.......
