Noise levels and manufacturing quality were the main criticisms leveled at the Popcorn Hour A-200. Now we have the Popcorn Hour A-210, technically similar but with an aluminium casing and minus the fan. We've taken the opportunity to take another look at the Popcorn Hour software. Out with the doubtful quality plastic casing, then, and in with the black brushed aluminium. A quality finish, but it is a shame you need to use your screwdriver so extensively to install a hard drive (2.5 or 3.5 inch). There's no longer a fan to dissipate the heat given off by the decoding chip, but rather a large block of aluminium. It enters into contact with the upper part of the casing, which plays the role of radiator. The casing doesn't heat up too much and, best of all, the centre remains quite quiet. Hard drive vibrations are attenuated by supple rubber pads. The remote (IR) is similar to the ones used on the A-200 and C-200. We like it: it's a high-end model with backlighting and a smooth surface with rubber on the back for better handling. The navigation interface can be broken down into two parts.
