Xtreamer Sidewinder 3 Xbmc Series Has No

For potential buyers, I would wait 6 months and get something that works out-of-the-box, rather than pulling your hair out.

Not only it is one of the most capable Media player in the market, its doing it putting a special focus on the ability to watch content without download.

In a totally different approach than what consumers are used to perceive a Digital Media Playback as of 2013, the XtreamerTv is going to set a new standard in the industry.

You can also see this is an Android based box, the android apps are listed but MIPS based chips like Sigmas have very poor compatibility with Android apps so that is something to watch out for.

Not sure what model this is, it matches the Tvix Android box made by Sigma a while back, used Android 2.2 with a custom UI and frankly wasnt very good so it looks like Xtreamer might be using the same chip.

The 8670 is used on Popbox V8, WDTV Live and such, could be the re-used Android as their base OS and and even bigger gotcha is the 8670 series has no GPU so Android apps are not going to handle that well.

If I add music for example, I dont want images from those folders added to my photos Id expect, when you add a share for you to be able to define what media type(s) are in there.

For instance, they have said that you can stream back and forth from an iPad.

The reality is that you can stream audio only to the XTV from your ipad or other iOS device.

It takes days before someone comes back to you, and when you use live chat, it seems that the person at the other end doesnt know much about the product.

On the plus side, the GUI is much nicer than previous models, and its quite bare (like Apple TV) and so navigation is easy.

It seems that what theyve done is come up with a really good spec list, spend some money on nice screen shots and pre-sell the unit.

Now that its released, theyve got a community of people (like myself) testing the unit and providing them with a list of to-dos in order to make it work.

It was exactly the same with their first product Xtreamer Mk1, which eventually did work, before being superseded by a newer product, with its own problems.

None of the other things you mention are there yet.

Teh unit first shipped on 10th Jan, the first firmware update was realed 5th Feb with over 50 fixes in it.

On the plus side, if you like watching video trailers and music videos, it can do this already, even though basic functionality of what youre probably buying this for, doesnt work.

Have a look at the XTV Forum and youll see others that totally frustrated at being sold something that doesnt deliver.
