Mede8er v Xtreamer Multimedia Player

ha ha ha. very funny. i have never lost a remote so far, doubt if i will lose this one.
R 400 for buttons on the unit. mightily expensive.

Hehe. Would your opinion change if your remote was to ever pack-up? :D

R400 for less risk in having buttons. And no horrible cheapskate "A.C. Ryan" branding in white on the front. :p
 
If you want quality get the mede8er, if you want cheap then get the xstreamer or playon.

There's been quite a lot of these threads lately. Something I've noticed is that people with the Mede8er keeps telling everyone it's the best, but they don't really have any valid reasons.

I mean seriously... mentioning the buttons on the unit for IF your remote packs up??? That's just admitting that the unit doesn't do anything else better.

Why is the AC Ryan branding cheapskate, but the Mede8er branding not?

I'm sure there are much better media players than the mede8er, but 'in it's class' the mede8er pwns!~ ;) You went for the cheap option now live with your purchase. :)
 
This is seriously disappointing as it has turned out to be a bashing session. I have not heard the reasons why either of these are quality e.g. the firware updates are regular and address customer issues, the interface is user friendly, etc, etc.

Please, owners can you tell me WHAT you like about your unit instead of telling me what you don't like about something you don't have.

Because A.C. Ryan sounds weird and cheap, more so it really looks k@k in white right on the front of the unit when they could have just had the PlayOnHD! logo. Lancelot agrees with me although he says he doesn't notice the white A.C. Ryan logo any more.

Mede8er wins in looks.
 
lol, that's what I thought when I initially heard about the Mede8er... ;)

I probably did too, but it grew on me. I find Mede8er a very catchy name for the tech.

I think the point more so is that Mede8er felt no need to put a white logo on the front.
 
I don't care if it says Gay Fag City on the front... if it works the same and is cheaper then ill take it.

LOOLZ! :D

I agree mate, mine goes into the wall unit so I could'nt give a hoot either way. In all honesty if I had seen the playon a week earlier I probably would have gone for the cheaper option too. I guess someone who owns both units would only qualify to answer the OP's question.

Having said that, go for the mede8er, it's definitely the better unit :wtf: :whistle:
