Who would buy one of these except with the intention to turn any television in their path into a porn receptacle?

Even if you'd argue that someone would load one with a bunch of DVD movies, I guarrantee you, a small section of it would be partitioned for porn.]]>Aug 6th 2008 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/iomega-screenplay-tv-link-adds-byo-storage-multimedia-playback-t/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/iomega-screenplay-tv-link-adds-byo-storage-multimedia-playback-t/Aug 6th 2008 12:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/iomega-screenplay-tv-link-adds-byo-storage-multimedia-playback-t/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/iomega-screenplay-tv-link-adds-byo-storage-multimedia-playback-t/I was considering the Popcorn Hour (because of its NTFS support among other things) but this thing is almost irresistible. ]]>Aug 6th 2008 11:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/iomega-screenplay-tv-link-adds-byo-storage-multimedia-playback-t/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/iomega-screenplay-tv-link-adds-byo-storage-multimedia-playback-t/Aug 6th 2008 11:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/iomega-screenplay-tv-link-adds-byo-storage-multimedia-playback-t/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/iomega-screenplay-tv-link-adds-byo-storage-multimedia-playback-t/Aug 6th 2008 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/iomega-screenplay-tv-link-adds-byo-storage-multimedia-playback-t/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/iomega-screenplay-tv-link-adds-byo-storage-multimedia-playback-t/Aug 6th 2008 11:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/iomega-screenplay-tv-link-adds-byo-storage-multimedia-playback-t/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/iomega-screenplay-tv-link-adds-byo-storage-multimedia-playback-t/Aug 6th 2008 12:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/iomega-screenplay-tv-link-adds-byo-storage-multimedia-playback-t/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/iomega-screenplay-tv-link-adds-byo-storage-multimedia-playback-t/Aug 6th 2008 12:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/iomega-screenplay-tv-link-adds-byo-storage-multimedia-playback-t/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/iomega-screenplay-tv-link-adds-byo-storage-multimedia-playback-t/

They can't play certain audio formats, some divx/xvid files don't work and you can't update the codecs. I even went on the knowledge hunt and hacked the £&4% out of it and it was still $&%!

Just spend a little more and get a decent graphics card, a media keyboard and a long ass AV cable for your PC, my "MEDIA BOX" is relegated to being an external USB drive nowadays.

Wish i never spent the cash on it.]]>Aug 6th 2008 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/iomega-screenplay-tv-link-adds-byo-storage-multimedia-playback-t/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/iomega-screenplay-tv-link-adds-byo-storage-multimedia-playback-t/

It works with my Toshi 320g hard drive, and one of my 8 gig flash drives -- it does not work with two others. It looks nice, it sees the folders and plays xvid and DVD folders complete with menus.

Also, I can't find a manual (much less a firmware update) for this anywhere on the Iomega web site. A serial # search leads to a legacy mp3 player!]]>Aug 12th 2008 11:18PM
