In the end, the Patriot Box Office is a great value. It’ll play just about every useful codec, supports subtitles (which are customizable),will torrent files, and play 1080p content. There are some issues I have with this device though. First, the G...
The Box Office does function quite admirably at the task at hand after the few bumps and bruises initially getting it setup. It will play almost anything you through at it with great ease and even BD ISO’s so Patriot says, although I never tested...
The Patriot Box Office is an excellent piece of hardware. It makes for a wonderful home media player, but it does have some limitations. A 10/100 ethernet controller is not ideal for HD streaming. Requiring an internal drive to enable home networkin...
This unit sells for around 100$ which is fairly priced in my opinion. It streams 1080P without any issues from a LAN connection or through a USB drive. We tested with .iso and .mkv files at 1080p and there we no problems while we streamed. Picture q...

Cumbersome PC software for BitTorrent management, Laggy user interface can be slow, File copy utility could be more intuitive, Needs more venting, runs quite warm
On-Screen Menu Interface The main menu, shown above, is reasonably straightforward and easy to understand. There are just three available options for you at this point and it’s quite clear what each of them is supposed to do. No confusion here. Div...
The Patriot can pull your digital media from a variety of devices including a USB drive, a network device and the internal drive. It is truly a multi-functional device with good support for a large variety of multi-media formats. Although the plain int...
Abstract: We all remember the day when if you wanted to play a movie you used a VCR or a DVD player. If you wanted to listen to music you tuned your radio or popped a cassette or CD into your player. For the majority of consumers that day is far behind them...
