O!Play, the truth
This is an incredible device doing exactly what they say it would do. Although the device is easy to use, the operating manual is not worth the paper it is printed on. This device will "index" the hard disc content every time it is switched on except when the function is turned off in the settings menu. Indexing can easily take 5 minutes which is annoying. With the auto scan function turned off, the hard drive is not immediately available after switching the device on, the menus will be blank until you return to the home page and navigate back to the menu. I thought my device was defective. Wait a couple of seconds before navigating to menus. Picture quality and sound is unbelievable.
Please note that this device do not support all sata hard drives as stated. A list of supported hard drives are supplied with the device. The best value for money and supported hard drive (available from NIVO) according to me is the WD10EARS (1TB).

Asus O!Play HD2 review Review
The Asus O!Play HD2 is technically excellent. The main problems with it are the cheap styling and over-complicated menu system. Both the WD TV Live and Popcorn Hour C-200 are more user-friendly, and have much simpler user interfaces. Read more ...

I've owned one of these for a couple of years, and my advice to anyone thinking of buying one is to look elesewhere. The firmware is rubbish and crashes regularly (browsing folders usually causes a crashes). Check out the Asus forums and you'll see what many users think of Asus. Read more ...
