  • Just having a look at this can anyone confirm this is a good price who knows a little bit more than me about this?

    • Decent price compared to the one that I got last week from XPMICRO for $208 with a 808GB HD.

  • The last deal they offered was for the AP300 with 808Gb HDD for $199.95 delivered to Sydney. So for an extra $10, you get ~200Gb extra, seems good!

    This little unit is pretty awesome, plugged mine in to my 42" LCD, no probs, plugged it in to the in-laws old CRT, plays fine as well =) Someone in the last deal mentioned that it would be good to upgrade the firmware too.

  • Good one but I bought last week already ap110d. Can buy 1tb for $90 but without a case :)

  • Thanks for that been looking into it more and seems like to me anyway for this price this is the best unit out there and have just purchased one for me and one for the parents.

    This is the new batch of AP-300, come with Full size remote.

    • Full size remote!. Does it have any additional buttons that aren't available on the half-size remote?

      AP300 is an excellent MMC if only the cooling fan spins a bit quieter. Mine sounds as loud as my PC. Astone has been good with their response in updating firmwares but some people have reported that the HDD dropped off the menu after upgrading to the latest firmware 1.73.

      • How far are you from TV? I couldn't hear anything from mine that 3m away. I like the new background of the firmware and also it more responsive than 1.72.

        • I sit 3m away from the TV too. The fan noise is not audible when I have the TV at a normal listening volume, but I wouldn't call it quiet.

      • no need to upgrade, it come with latest 1.73, got more buttons on remote, e.g the time skip button, one press to skip 30 seconds

  • How does it compare to AP-110D in terms of video formats (esp. large high quality H.264 mkv files ) ?

    • same formats support, but AP-300 with a internal HDD

  • Does it come with the wireless dongle ? it's in the specs, but it could be an optional.

    USB Wireless dongle: Astone AW-N290 802.11n dongle, SAMBA client, UPnP

    • I emailed their support and I got this response regarding whether it comes with dongle.

      "Hi,

      No sorry this is an optional item.

      Regards,

      Support

  • Not too sure with the Samba client part, got the Noontec here, the samba client download speed
    is very slow. does anyone know about this one?

  • Pardon me, but what is Samba?

    • samba, SMB share via windows.

  • Anyone know how does the interface look like. Great value if you not after a Astone 360T for its PVR functions.

  • For 1TB, I think this could be cheaper than even the LAN hard drives?

  • does this come with 1 or 2 year warranty, it says 2 above, on the website only 1 year. Can this pls be confirmed?
