Contest #16 – Win a QNAP NMP-1000P Media Player
THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING, THIS CONTEST HAS ENDED!!!!! GOOD LUCK TO ALL!! WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED SOON!
ENTER TO WIN:
QNAP NMP-1000P Media Player
Continuing our MissingRemote.com re-launch contest, we have a really special prize for the special holiday weekend. Courtesy of our friends at QNAP, we have up for grabs the awesomely powerful QNAP NMP-1000P Media Player. Valued at over $400 this digital video player is mighty powerful as we just recently reviewed.
While the chassis and form factor has remained the same on the NMP-1000P as was on the NMP-1000, the heart of any media player–the chipset–has received a nice upgrade. Now powering the unit is a Sigma Designs SMP8643 chip, running at 667 Mhz. This is a pretty serious upgrade from the SMP8635 300Mhz chip that powers the NMP-1000. While I did not have any experience with the 1000, I can attest that the menu navigation of the 1000P was extremely responsive. I’ve tested a number of different extender-type media players and the menu speeds were as fast as I have seen. The only negative I could see to this switch was the omission of S-Video and S/PDIF Coaxial outputs from the rear of the unit–I couldn’’t see any reason why they would have removed these ports from the NMP-1000 other than the chipset not supporting them or too much extra work to add them, since the space on the backplate is identical to the NMP-1000P.

LOL. It is one thing for the wife to accept, another to approve. My wife accepts my setup (deals with it) but she doesn’t totally approve. I think she forgets that when she is watching “Biggest Looser” in the bedroom or in the basement via the XBOX or on the TV in the Living room that it would not be possible without paying a steep monthly charge (forever) for each of the boxes that would give the same experience from UVERSE, satellite or TIVOs.
Plus when my daughter want to watch Twilight for the umpteenth time she can run it via MyMovies in the guest bedroom and we can have the big screen for ourselves.
