It's simple and not really expensive and works OOTB.</div>

<div>It doesn't "cope" with TV series at all well.</div><div>The music player is TERRIBLE, what if I want to play by genre? or create a play list?</div><div><br></div><div>And reliability, it crashes, like four times a week, just locks up stops and only out is to power off (5 seconds on power button).</div>
