madburg Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 unlimited Pogoplug Premium software license (one license can be installed on ALL your computers--Mac or PC) for just $10.00 more that makes it $39.99 and then Shipping not included (approximately $10.00). Tax applied where applicable. Offer valid in the US only thats makes it $49.99 + Tax I can't buy/try anything were a company cant flat out state the price of there product. Let us know what you think when you get one. Plus from CNET: The bad: Awkward and unintuitive media browsing experience; unreliable and choppy playback and file format compatibility makes audio and especially video streaming unreliable; unattractive design; many of the advanced features like cloud printing and media streaming don't work reliably.

jumperalex Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 I hear ya .. .just include the shipping, but keep in mind the software is in fact only an option, it is not required unless you need to stream to things like your phone with transcode. I personnally have no need for that, so the price is ineed, $39 shipped. Which is way cheaper than the $99 it used to be. [shrug] not even sure I'm getting one, I just thought it was a good deal. I'll certainly report back if I do get one. Quote Link to comment
madburg Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Nothing against your post, much appreciated, just warning others from what I saw. As it seemed interesting... there's always something for someone Quote Link to comment
jumperalex Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 No worries, didn't take it personal. Over now and I didn't get one because I just didn't see a use case for me. A neat idea, one I would use if I travelled more and didn't already just transcode/transfer videos for my phone, but for now I see no need. Quote Link to comment
Killer_B Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 It is possible to install and set up a Debian install onto these. http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/ Uncertain how streaming might be affected, but it should be a lot more flexible than the standard stock firmware. Quote Link to comment
fitbrit Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I use J. River Media Center. For $50 you get a whole lot more than this ability. Add a few dollars for AirVideo and you have an iphone/ iPad solution too. I've been listening to my entire audio collection at work for a while using this application. With AirVideo, I was able to let my daughter watch her favourite videos from across the Atlantic on my iPhone while we were on vacation in England. Quote Link to comment
