Tuniq HD-Box Full High-Definition Network Media Player Debuts

The high performance PC cooling manufacturer, Tuniq, from Taiwan, has made their foray into the digital entertainment market with the HD-BOX. HD- BOX is a full HD capable, hard drive based, stand alone digital playback system.

Full Featured Digital Fun:

The HD-BOX is a high quality digital media playback system that supports a wide array of file format such as MPG, MOV, RM, WMV, Xvid, H.264, etc. It is also capable of displaying common image formats for viewing your favorite pictures. Audio playback is also supported in many different formats.

The HD-BOX is Bit Torrent ready and offers video playback quality from NTSC and PAL and all the way up to 1080p. The installation of the HD-BOX is straight forward and easy to do; just install the hard drive (maximum size of 2TB) from the side panel and you are ready to go.

What is also interesting is that the HD-BOX is one of the first digital media playback boxes that offers Wi-Fi connectivity right out of the box with the included Wi-Fi dongle.

One additional and frequently overlooked feature that HD-BOX offers is the multi-lingual user interface. This localization feature really adds convenience during operation.

Packed full of accessories:

We have found that the HD-BOX helps you start on your digital enjoyment by including many accessories not normally found from other manufacturers. It includes a HDMI cable and a Wi-Fi dongle which makes it easy to setup.

Instead of a generic looking remote, the HD-BOX comes with a cool looking night-light remote control with hotkey feature. With such a full array of accessories, the HD-BOX is about as complete a solution as we have seen to date!
