Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
popcornhour users here?

Don't own one personally but i know it's pretty popular, many people at this sub-forum seem to like them.
Oh yea, welcome to the forums

I got sick of dealing with my linux PC for playback. It just wasn't working out very well for 1080p content even with a core 2 E6400 running around 2.5Ghz so I had to either upgrade that box or switch to windows when I came across the popcornhour and I'm really glad I chose to go with that so far. Some of the Planet Earth 1080p rips have a SMALL stutter in video playback every so often but all my other mkvs play flawlessly so I'm happy with it. I just wish it had faster networking, eSATA or firewire and faster menu's.

I wonder if the two newer models will have some of those features (?)
Going to look into it sometime soon.
the faster menu's part won't be happening until the developers refine things in the software which honestly could be a good 6mnths.
Hardware could be quite a wait because they seem to be pretty slow with getting hardware out so no telling when those new models will be around.
reading around the NMT forum it sounds like they think of the USB drives more of a playback only type medium so I'm not going to hold my breathe for ESATA. What I think I'll end up doing is buying a drive case that has eSATA and USB and using that. The currently model without SATA support seriously limits internal storage but I'll just pop in a 250Gb or 320Gb drive and use it more for downloading things since they seem to have good torrent and nzbget support. I currently have a 500Gb USB drive hooked to it filled with TV shows and like 1.5Tb of stuff between my linux box and main desktop.
network access seems to have some pretty bad response times at times and I have some disappearing network drives from time to time but that should be fixed in the upcoming firmware release.
