Released by Patriot Memory on November 10, 2009, the Patriot Box Office 1080P HD Media Player is one of the most exciting media players to hit the market this year.  Unleash all the power of your media on your home theater system.  Enjoy your True HD 1080p media streamed from your desktop to your living room.    Right out of the box, the Patriot Media Player is easy to set-up and will offer compatibility with most systems out there, including offering compatibility with Sony PlayStation® and Microsoft Xbox®.

Patriot Box Office 1080P High Definition Media Player

Price: $129.99 USD

This all-in-one media player offers some of the best functionality to hit the market to date.  Like other digital media players, the Patriot Box Office HD is a streaming media player, but an added feature unlike most of the other players that are out on the market today is the ability to expand the internal storage capacity of the Box Office.  So, as your media library continues to grow, the Patriot Box Office comes with an internal 2.5″ SATA hard drive slot that will work with any SSD/HDD.  The Patriot Box Office HD media player does not come with an internal hard drive, but it is comforting to know if a person ever wanted to, a hard drive could be added.  Some people may choose to only use it as streaming HD media player, and that is fine, but the Patriot Box Office Wireless G USB Adapter is also available on Amazon*.  Another feature that jumps out is that this digital media player has lots of plugs and will work with any USB mass storage device.  The Patriot Media Player comes with three USB 2.0 ports to accommodate more than one drive or peripheral.  Also playable through the media player optical output or HDMI output, the Patriot Box Office includes Dolby® Digital and DTS™ surround sound processors providing 5.1 and 7.1 channel surround sound through your home entertainment system.

*Amazon is offering the current rebates:  Save $30 by mail when you Pre-order the Patriot Box Office HD 1080p by November 30, 2009.  Add the Patriot Wireless G USB Adapter on the same order as the Patriot Media Box and get the Wi-Fi adapter free!

Here is an overview of the features:

UPDATE 12/08/09 – There is news from Patriot Memory that they will be releasing a new wireless adapter called the Patriot Wireless N USB Adapter that will be compatible with the Patriot Box Office 1080p HD Media Player.  There is no release date set, but I will keep you up to date on the Patriot Media Player update information becomes available.

    This little player works great. I had a little trouble connecting wifi to my computer because I did not have them as shared files, but that was finally remedied. The wireless picture is great, and sound works fine. The menu to get to the files is a little bulky, but this unit is awesome. It will work with older TV’s unlike the WD Live Media Player which is strictly 1080p. With the wireless unit free, and a $30 rebate, this is a great deal.

    Again will it play VOB files ripped by RAELDVD software currentaly under litigation? I have several DVD files ripped by this sofware. However I lost the program downloaded and activated when it was offered last year

    I do know that the WD Live is compatible with VOB files, but I don’t know how the player could distinguish from a VOB file from RealDVD or from a different program. If you already have the VOB files, you could try running through a different program like DVD shrink to make them compatible with other players than just RealDVD.

    when i find a movie on my hard drive.I start the move and it appears in a little window on the right. how do i make it full screen

  5. Tripp on December 20th, 2009 3:25 am

    I think you are talking about the preview window, and I haven’t found a way to make the preview full screen. Go to Patriot Memory Forums, there is a good chance you can get an answer there.

    Can I buy this MP at Frys Electronic or BestBuy?
    or I have to buy online?

  7. Tripp on December 21st, 2009 2:27 am

    I haven’t seen this player out at Fry’s or Best Buy yet. I suspect that Amazon may have some sort of exclusive agreement with Patriot Memory.

    Hey guys,

    This may be a stupid question but I have to ask. Is it possible to have this Media player or any media player act like a server or be connected to a network in order for me to access everything that is on this device from my i.e. Netbook, 360, PS3 at the same time? The only way I see this possible is dedicating an old pc as the server and shareing the files. Is it possible with a Media player to do the same?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Hi Lino,

    I did find out that the Xtreamer supports a UpNP Gateway that will allow you to stream your HDD content through the internet. Here is the link to the article here on digital media player guide, Xtreamer, and here is the link to the product description at Amazon, Xtreamer 1080P HD Media Player & Network Streamer H.264 MKV.

    Here is the summary from the Xtreamer website:

    “UPnP Web Gateway – The Xtreamer features advanced web gateway from which you will be able to control various features of the device. Simply login via your PC web browser. You will be able to assign the device a unique name that will allow you easy access to the device even from the internet: yourname.myxtreamer.net. This Web Gateway will allow you to setup an NFS client and even stream your xtreamer HDD content to PC. The Xtreamer can serve you files as NAS and its files are accessible by your PC once the FTP service is enabled.”

    Thanks Tripp,

    Wow the Xtreamer looks pretty impressive. Just started reading up on it, I hope it will work with the 360. I love how it has Google Movie Jukebox. Thanks again

    I have mixed feelings about this media player. I drop .MKV files on it and seems to play fine… then a few days later the .mkv files seem to get corrupted and can’t be played anymore.

    Anyone else experiencing this ?

  12. PDB on February 9th, 2010 6:59 pm

    I also experience with mkv files, some would play just fine, and for some, I can preview it on the preview screen, but it won’t play when press the play button (or the enter button), all function completely frozen. I have to power down the unit and restart again. Anyone know what seems to be the problem? Does the resolution (480, 720, etc…) on the unit has to match up with the resolution recorded in the mkv file?
