Sigma SOC only.

HHHHMMMMM! but yet you would gladly buy a product that requires you to set it up on a computer before you can actually use it, each to there own i suppose. Sigma based media players yes still trailing behind everything else i have yet to see one play every format going maybe one day but not yet.Last edited by digicon; 21 December, 2012, 20:43.

Funnily enough, my 3yr old pcorn c200 reads 110% of material and it have video circuitry faaaar superior and cleaner than any gate's monster.. And i don't use pc at all. What a waste of time. Macs only here.Comment

110% i think you need to rethink that figure as it wont play 3D blu ray and neither does its bigger brother the 300, i will stick to my custom built as you put it gates monster that does play absolutely everything i have thrown at it.
I had a Sigma based device 10 years ago and they are still crap, even the Duo can play most stuff your 200 does.

Listen mate if you want to discuss your Syabas Sigma based popcorn hour then we have a section in the main forums,You could also head over to NMJ to find out what else your 200 wont play. Else this thread is going totally off topic from its original source which is about the VU Duo.
If you had wanted a Media Player/ Satellite receiver then you would have been better purchasing the Solo2 and waited for updates for the media centre side of things to expand as yet its new and still being software developed.
