Introduction
It’s no secret that I was pretty pleased with how the original Playon!HD media player performed, so I was quite excited to check out the revamped 1TB version. This 2.0 iteration has an improved GUI, a new Gigabit ethernet port, USB 3.0, an “EZ” drive slot and some extra formats in the official supported list. On top of this we also have the ability to access youtube, twitter, facebook and more.
Should be interesting.
