Re: EVA9150 web links

What chipset? What will it do that is not done already by other players?

This doesnt look good:-
When I asked how much hacking they expect users to do, the rep said while the EVA9000 runs on a version of Linux, things are “closed pretty tight”.
Skinning support! Skinning “won’t be easy”, but it’s there for anyone taking the plunge. Unless some third-party gets around to crafting a creation tool, skins will be handmade with good ol’ XML. They plan to offer at least a few professionally made alternative skins, though only the default will ship on the unit. No word yet if these new skins will cost anything.

Price in US $399!

Re: EVA9150 web links

The 9150 apparently comes with a 500 GB drive already installed in the drive bay.

I've no idea if they'll also sell the 9000 without a drive or whether they've ditched that idea and gone for charging an extra 100 quid for 40 quid's worth of hard drive.

Hope you can buy barebones because I'd rather fill the bay with 1.5TB of loveliness.

I don't think anyone can tell you what chipset it uses for sure but it does pass through TrueHD and DTS-MA.

Not sure what it will do compared to a popcorn hour but it may be worth looking at depending on how "slick" the interface is for "Her In Doors" usage.

And it does have wireless N built in. It will be interesting to see if anyone can manage wireless streaming of a Blu-ray rip, though.
