My home on the web

I have recently bought this dvd for £35, and despite some reviews saying that is not that good, I have a completly different opinion.

This player can read everything I throw to him: DVDs (is region free), divx movies, xvid movies, mp3.

It supports an external drive, using a usb 2.0 connection. The only limitation is that the external drive must be formated as FAT or FAT32. It does not support NTFS.

It has 5.1 sound, as well an SPDIF output. I use the 5.1 output and is really great. There is also the SCART connector, the composite connector and, the one I use, the HDMI connector.

When you use the HDMI, you can upscale all the media that you are seeing on the dvd. I’ve been seeing Battlestar Galactica and X-Files upscaled to 1080p and the difference for the normal resolution is abysmal. It seems like I am there (this is special true on X-Files, which is a older show).

The remote works well, giving all the functions needed. The player is also very small, and it does not overheat, and also operates very silently.

Overall, it is a good product to buy. There are probably better options on the market, but for £35 this is a bargain.

I’ve just bought the first 3 seasons boxset of this great show, and started seeing the episodes again.

I almost forgot how good this show really is. The way it evolves, the way the story is unfold, is really breathtaking. It is probably one of the best shows around, and it is a shame that it will end next year.

However, can’t wait for the day that the second half of the fourth season starts, so we all can see the end of this great show.

Hello everyone.

I have received some comments about this post, and I am glad I could help.

It really is annoying that scammers, even when faced with the truth, try to get out of it. Like the last guy, who is a bank manager and does not try to scam anyone, and the buyer should trust him because it has his address.

I mean, come on? How hard is it to go to google maps, check the address and see if it is actually a house? Because the last scammer that tried to scam me gave me an address of a furniture store. And even when I told him it was a furniture store, he just keep telling that he lived there.

Anyway, keep your eyes open and be always careful. There are good deals on the internet, but there is also a lot of scams going around.
