Review: Patriot Box Office PVP

“Today I’m going to be taking a look at the Linux powered
Patriot Box Office (PBO), a Personal Video Player (PVP) designed
for the home entertainment or theater system. The device is small,
easy to use, and provides all the basic features that someone would
want in a PVP system. So, let’s move on to the system and take a
look around.

“As you can see, the PBO comes standard with screws (for
mounting the hard drive), a composite audio/video cable, power
brick, remote, the PBO unit itself, a user cd which includes the
manual and a transcoding tool for Windows users, an HDMI cable,
batteries for the remote, and a quick start guide.

“As an additional added feature, you can pick up their special
wireless adapter for use in the device for those who prefer to use
wireless networking. Now, from here on out I won’t have any other
screenshots, as there’s no easy way for me to get them, and taking
pictures with a digital camera just doesn’t work and really does
not do the PBO any justice.”
