None

Plastic strip broke while assemblying, used tape to hold it together. USB not recognized on Windows 7 or Vista. Initialized and formatted brand new Samsung 250 GB SATA drive, again USB device not recognized

Small package, lots of output standards

The unit will not play a complete movie. Argosy has been reviewing the problem since April and they don't respond except to tell me that tech support hasn't gotten had a chance to review the problem

Now that I have my 1.5T hard drive installed there are less cords in the way, and more movies

Stalls sometimes

Plays most of my movies just fine. A few of them cause it to become none responsive and a few would not work at all. The audio and video were out of sync on two movies

Occasionally stalls

I thought it would be a cheap alternative to the WD TV box. Well, it was cheap

Never did get it to work. Displayed a screen, then locked up. Never got it to playback even one file

Easy to install/understand...and for the price-absolutely no complaints

However, IDX/SUB does not work for me (1/2 an egg). Also when outputting through HDMI to my Optama HD65 projector, the screen only displays in purple and no other color {it's not the projector because other components works perfectly using the Optama's...

It would be awesome if there was support for more formats, MKV and WMV. Though to be fair, Argosy doesn't claim to have support for those formats. I also had a number of AVI and MP4 formatted videos that couldn't be read. The Playlist manager is a...

it does play movies

pause, ff, rew only work in DVD titles. Once you start a Divx or Xvid movie you can only stop by pulling the power cord. Would not find or play music files. Tried basic 128K unprotected MP3 and the player would not even find it. Very little support...

Price was nice at 49.99, compact unit, works with all my media files so far on USB Flash sticks

Unit is compact but could use a better base as it can be knocked over easily. HEATS UP big time! Fried a 1TB HD I had installed. Once a HD is in there are no openings for air and definitely nothing for cooling this unit. Inconvenient on off button on...
