How does it perform streaming videos?

Slow, get a tablet instead, neither my wife or I use them anymore. Both use in love with the speed and capabilities of our iPads.

It's OK. But my recommendation will be upgrading the ram memory. If you add more RAM will be fine

It's limited. I reboxed my Cube, preferring to live with my older WD video streaming device. It's not as responsive and snappy as the cube, but I found it more stable. I wouldn't recommend the Cube to anyone, friend or foe. Online - people recommended the Google Chromecast as a better investment.

Have had no issues. Wish the Web interface to control it worked better in android browsers, but it gets by. Would I recommend it, hard to say without knowing your needs. I you need functioning, easy, inexpensive video access to an area of your house. Yes I would. Happy you with my choice

It plays media, but has no onboard storage. So, it can play online streaming media (Hulu, Netflix, a bunch of other services), it can stream media from a network share so you can watch stuff stored on other computers on your network, and can also play media directly from a drive you plug into one of the USB ports.

It will play all media file types.... As far as the gb capacity, I have mine hooked up to a 1.5TB external hard drive full of audio/video/photo files and it's never had any trouble streaming any of it.

Even if you use WiFi, the streaming is fast and reliable. I've had it for a long time now and never experienced any lag. It's just the menu that's very slow. It's fine if you know what you want to watch, but it's like being on dial up again if you are just browsing.

I ran this device over a 1 Gbit network and it was sending a file at almost 50mbit per second... And I think that was bottle necked by my laptops write speed. This device is more than capable of streaming anything you want... Believe it or not I can even stream full blown PC game from this device as if they where installed on my PC by setting up a network drive and some special type of folders. Currently I stream uncompressed 1080p 3D content over to not my TV and PS3 and they both work perfectly as if the file was saved locally.

I have found that making sure there is adequate wifi signal is important to using this device to stream video. For my home, I found it necessary to add a "range extender" to my wifi system . I have ocasionally experienced dropped signal since installing the extender but it is rare. Buffering has improved considerably.I have found that the recent update for the youtube app corrected a few issues including the full screen problem.I hope this helpsHarold

Yes and no. Streaming audio and most video should be OK... But if you want to play a hardcore fast action hi Def video game I think the lag and occasional choppyness will be a showstopper

I've streamed Netflix and YouTube plenty of times with no problems. I've also sent the stream to an external monitor with no problems.

It does not currently have an Amazon Streaming Video application. If that is important to you then perhaps take a look at the Roku 3, or any other Roku model.

I havent tried it with an on line streaming service such as hulu - however i saw a significant improvement in performance in streaming hd movies from my NAS.

I bought mine about a month and a half ago and haven't had it not play anything so I think it does. I do netflix, youtube, stream hulu, and other videos from network sites like abc, nbc, mtv etc. It is full windows 8 so should do everything a PC would.

Can't answer that. It does stream youtube Hulu type vids well (what I got it for), but my guess it would not do well for gaming.

It plays HD video from YouTube. The picture looks compressed some, looking similar to the HD video that you would get from Amazon VOD or Qriocity VOD.

This card does not do the streaming. This card simply takes an input from hdmi or sdi device and feeds it to your computer which is then used by software for whatever purpose you've set up. To do streaming, try searching online 'blackmagic mini recorder streaming' or 'blackmagic mini recorder fmle' ... this card is also compatible with vMix switching which has streaming and recording capabilities as well as many other software programs.

It starts up pretty quick compared to a Windows machine. I have the box connected to my TV and I found it very good for streaming online videos. So far, I've been happy with this very reliable setup. From time to time, the box does need to be re-started. But, recommended and, overall, very good box.
