Inability to add a internal hdd/sdd is the deal killer for me.
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.

The PBO Alpine needs a better remote. Maybe I can use my Dell M2010 remote with it.
Steve, I have the original PBO and it's great for certain things. one area it fell flat was streaming content from my local network. As long as it was DVD quality it lower it was fine but once I tried streaming a blue ray over wifi things went south fast.
Can you confirm that the Alpine is able to stream high bitrate movies over wifi on the local network?
if it can do that ill gladly replace my PBO with this one.

You can navigate to the Netflix site directly, login and do everything there except watch movies.
You can't download the official app because the Netflix doesn't recognize the PBO Alpine as a supported device (phone / tablet)
BUT...we tried out a half dozen Netflix apps (various versions) in .apk form, half of them work, half don't.
I then decided to dig around a bit about competition last week to see what else was out there. I ran across the AIOS HD Media Player and saw that it's specs far surpassed the original PBO.
The browser worked well but many places detect it as a mobile device and only offer you the mobile version of their site. It was rather speedy and rendered pages well though.
