I chose this media player based on price, features, patriot forum support, flexibility and hackability. I have updated the bootcode and firmware, but to be honest it didn't need it. Also purchased the Patriot N wireless adapter as I don't use the ethernet port.
I don't use streaming much, but on the limited tests I have performed the Wireless N works well on movies upto about 1.5GB, but a 4.5GB DVD ISO image movie does stutter via wireless. I have installed a 250GB 2.5" sata drive internally and use a 500GB external USB drive too. Using the device to store my movies, whether I copy my DVDs to ISO or out to MP4, etc works really well. Both the external USB drive or internal SATA work perfectly too.
The device is easy to use, setup and I would recommend it to anyone not interested in streaming ISO DVD images via wireless. Love it!
UPDATE: Reflashed the PBO to P61 Mega, a semi official firmware linked from the PBO Wiki and the device now streams 4.5GB ISO images perfectly.

On the whole a very good media player. It has accepted any type of file I have thrown at it via USB or LAN. The resolution is superb and play back is flawless (so far). The only major complaint I have is that the menu structure is crap! I require short cuts to media stored on my servers and not have to go through the entire file structure to find what I want.

This is a really well designed and useful media player. I have never liked to watch movies on a laptop and now I can just transfer all my films to an external usb powered hd and plug it into the Patriot Box and press the play button. Produce no noise and it looks discrete below the TV. Also works fine with dvd iso-files and you get to see the menus and all. Have used it for 3 months now. Solid stuff.
Thumbs up!

Great Box, but terrible service
Let me first say this is a great media device, if you get one that works. I ordered one for my mum, as I already had one and I knew that she would be ok getting on with her own on. Read more

Great value media player.
I used to stream mkv files from my PC to my PS3 and all was good until Sony added the Cinavia DRM system and a lot of my files were either blocked or muted after 20 minutes. Read more
