Quick review

The good
Great streaming performance, straightforward operation, HDMI
The bad
Stability issues, still rather basic
Verdict
Freecom hasn’t done quite enough with the 450 to warrant an upgrade, and stability issues means the presence of HDMI isn’t nearly as appealing as it should be

Comments

  • Great multimedia (box) from Freecom, has all the whistles and bells for streaming multimedia content but it's main flaw is the poor software that operates it. I bought this product and honestly every time it is in use it crashes. Recommended to wait until Freecom can provide stable firmware before buying else look for another alternative.

    This would have been a an excellent product if it was not for the poor sotware !
