Very nice device
Reviewed by Cole. Review Posted 31/08/2011
This media player is great. It reads all video files and even separate subtitle files. 1TB is more than enough for me and anyway I can stream content from any computer or drive on the network directly to the TV screen via LaCinema, so there's no need to store everything on the built-in hard drive. The HDMI cable is part of the packaging, which is nice. The device is fast, and works flawlessly.

Reviewed by Jeremy. Review Posted 30/06/2011
I was looking for a streaming media player that would support a lot of different file formats. LaCinema seemed to have what I was looking for, so I decided to give it a try. The setup was easy and the device works perfectly. The interface is easy to understand. The format support is excellent, LaCinema plays every file format I've tried so far. I'm very satisfied with this product. It's a real winner.

Just what I was looking for
Reviewed by Harrison. Review Posted 29/03/2011
I've got 700GB of video. I needed a high capacity device that would work well with my HD TV, and would understand all kinds of file formats. LaCinema works just great for me, now any PC in the house is able to access all folders. I can also stream content from any computer directly to my TV. It's just what I was looking for.

Great product
Reviewed by Jack. Review Posted 28/02/2011
This great looking media player has it all. Large hard drive capacity allows to store plenty of media. LaCinema works with a huge number of file formats, connects automatically to the internet when connected via Ethernet cable, and allows to stream content to it from any other computer on the network. It'll work as well with Wi-Fi via USB Wi-Fi adaptor (not included with the device). The firmware updates are easy to install. The device is easy to connect via HDMI or component or composite video. I prefer to use it via HDMI, as the video quality is just outstanding on HD TV. I recommend this unit. It is really great!

Lacie Device is stunning
Reviewed by Rob. Review Posted 29/09/2010
If I could give this item more stars I would, it's value alone is astonishing, a 1TB networked hard disk alone of this quality would be worth the asking price.
The video quality is excellent, the audio is fantastic plugged into an amplifier/receiver and changing the audio output setting from digital to stereo lets your TV receive audio from an HDMI cable to play sound.
It plays MKV, M2TS files and almost anything else you could think to throw at it apart from apple lossless audio tracks, it will play aac-m4a files not losslessly encoded though fine.
It will stream media of any kind from any other device in your house on the network and you can copy films across to it while playing a movie with no problems!
It is awesome, I am buying another one...
