Pivos XIOS DS Media Play! Android Media Player Review
The front of the box points out the included Android OS , HTML 5 support, XBMC compatibility, Android APK and Google Chrome support.
On the back we get a more detailed break down of supported files, formats and displays. The labelled diagram shows we have 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi support, MicroSD expansion up to 32GB, three USB ports, 10/100 LAN, HDMI out and a DC in port. Also key information that you will need for product registration is also on here including your serial number.
Included is a standard HDMI 1.3 cable to connect you to your TV, a DC adapter (input of 0.35A and 100-240V and an output of 5V and 2000mA) that will be compatible with your regional plug, an instruction manual, the Xivos DS remote control and a reminder to update to the latest firmware on the Pivos forum.
It seems like a very good plug & play product.
And another good review, Ryan. 🙂
Question: what’s the described speed of wifi? I mean is it 150N or 300N?
Cause, one should need 300N for live streaming of HD media from their PC/ media server.
good question, I am actually not entirely sure. You don’t need 300N to stream HD content. I have a 30mbps internet connection and I can stream HD content. I would hazard a guess and say it was more likely to be 150mbps bgn WIFI as opposed to 300mbps bgn but I cannot be sure.
ok. I also think it is a 150N adapter. As you have said there is problem related to the transfer speed, a descent enough 300N adapter can’t just have them. But some really bad, old 150N wifi adapter can have.
Well it will be at least 54mbps as that is WiFi 802.11 b/g/n specs. In reality 54mbps is more than enough for streaming a single content channel at 1080p in any format, MKV/MP4/AVI etc
Ah, those old draft n adapters.. Those were popular back in 2007-08. 😛
