I have a couple of Network Media Tanks (Popcorn Hour boxes), namely PCH-A110 & a PCH-A200. They work great for all my mkv content and allow me to plug in a usb drive so I can take it all on the go.
I was thinking of selling the A110 and buying an Apple TV 3 as the jailbreak should be coming out soon.
I still have a need to keep one PCH at least so I can do what I mentioned above and so I can watch content at the cottage in the summer (no network there for streaming, which I believe is all the APTV can do).
Is it true that the APTV jailbroken won't be able to play mkv via usb external drive?
Also, is this a smart move to ditch the A110, keep the A200 and use the $ to get an APTV so I can also obtain the additional content from online sources through APTV?
Finally my last question is about xbox 360 media capabilities vs jailbroken aptv. What will I gain with aptv jailbroken vs. just spending a bit more and getting an xbox 360. I'll gain the game capability but wondering if I lose anything significant in the media area?
