The Popcorn Hour C-300 has excellent video file format support and allows you to browse through your video files by poster art. But its line-up of smart apps is relatively poor, it has buggy software and it costs way too much....
No Wi-Fi, Expensive, No iPlayer, No Netflix, No LoveFilm
The Popcorn Hour C-300 media box can play just about any video or audio file you have. From this perspective at least, it's a success. However, when it lacks every video streaming service popular in the UK aside from YouTube, is extremely expensive compar...

Lacks Wi, Fi, Simple from box, No movie streaming apps, Poor remote control
A great piece of kit for AV enthusiasts looking for an expandable and adaptable streamer that can ultimately double as a Blu-ray player, the Popcorn Hour C-300 requires some careful choices to be made. However, it lacks Wi-Fi, must-have apps and a bullet...

Expensive, network browsing can sometimes be too slow, some bugs in the firmware can cause minor irritations
The Popcorn Hour C-300 is still the king of media players. It's a little costly, but the Blu-ray abilities and its remarkable picture quality and massive support for almost all kinds of video mark it out as the videophile's choice. As with past models,...
Swappable hard drives, Bluray capability, range of online services, HDMI cable supplied,
Not cheap, no builtin WiFi, no big movie streaming service
The Popcorn Hour C-300 has a great deal to offer but don't expect it to be perfect out of the box. You'll need to add your own hard drive, Blu-ray drive and even Wi-Fi dongle to get it up to its full capability. But if you're happy to use Ethernet and ...

No memory card reader, No VOD, nor TV catchup service, Slowdowns in Bluray menus, The screen integration needs revisiting, Adding a Bluray player is costly
We like the hybrid concept but it works out too expensive for most. The addition of the colour LCD screen doesn’t as yet add much to what you get with the C-200. From a purely technical point of view, this is a very good piece of hardware and this is w...
Lacks WiFi, Simple from box, No movie streaming apps, Poor remote control
The name 'Popcorn Hour' may conjure thoughts of long nights streaming movies from the internet and elsewhere, but the reality of using the Popcorn Hour C-300 is somewhat more complex. We liked The Flash-based user interface is reasonably attractive and ea...
Compatibilité multimédia, Interface esthétique et intuitive, Jukebox universel intégré, en français, Marché d'applications adaptées à un usage TV, Options avancées / Télécommande haut de gamme
Absence de lecteur de cartes mémoire, Ni VOD, ni télévision de rattrapage, Lenteurs dans les menus des Blu-ray, L'écran mériterait une meilleure intégration, Prix final pour lire les Blu-ray
Un concept hybride intéressant mais qui limite son utilisation aux plus fortunés. L'ajout d'un écran LCD couleur par rapport au C-200 reste, pour l'instant, totalement anecdotique. D'un point de vue purement technique, il s'agit d'un très bon appareil ...
Ruimte voor twee harde schijven, Groot kleurenscherm, Optionele blu-ray-speler
Geen usb-slave, Technische kennis vereist, Duur
Bent u bereid om de forse aanschafprijs van 379 euro te betalen, dan beschikt u over een high-end-mediaspeler met allerlei extra opties. Onder leiding van de Sigma Designs SMP8647-chipset bekijkt u films inclusief blu-ray-menu's op uw televisie. Dankzij d...
Het heeft lang geduurd voordat de Popcorn Hour C-300 de markt bereikte en ook langer dan gebruikelijk voordat we er een review aan konden wijden. Genoeg tijd dus om een uitontwikkeld product te kunnen bekijken, zou je denken. Helaas, dat bleek niet het...
