ReadyNAS Ultra 2 as Media Server
Hello, I have to admit, that I'm not really a veteran on these matters, but I want to learn. The idea is to have a NAS that I can use as media server. It needs to be fast enough to not cause pro...
I live in Denmark, and if I choose to import things from the US, I will have to pay duties of those goods, yes.
The house I'm moving into, is not built yet. It's done in August next year, so all the wiring etc will be very new, which I assume will work in my favor if I were to choose Powerline.

I'm e abit of a newbie regarding Media Center software, so could you please specify to me what kind of features we're talking about.

I have to admit, it works really well with even Bluray movies with bitrates on 25k+ running though. I'm not totally sure if I'm doing everything correctly as I looked at the server confirgurations last night, and it seems like the max output is capped at 2MB - 768p. Not totally sure how its working though. :)
