Source Review Summary Review Rating
Title: Fiddly setup for external video, Poor USB port placement, Intermittent erratic behaviour, Server software prone to crashes

Pros: Deals elegantly with streamed media, UPnP support, Good quality internal components, Excellent playback quality

Cons: Fiddly setup for external video, Poor USB port placement, Intermittent erratic behaviour, Server software prone to crashes

Summary: When the X5000 works, it's amongst the very best home media centres we've ever played with. It's not perfect, however, in both design and implementation.
73/100
Title: Helios X5000

Verdict: It gets bonus points for having build quality that’s second to none. It feels as though it’s been carved out of a large aluminium slab; the buttons on the facia are reassuringly weighty and sound satisfyingly industri

Summary: An excellent alternative to a fully-blown Media Centre PC.

100/100
Title: Helios X5000

Pros: Excellent video and audio potential

Cons: There's no SCART functionality to be had

60/100
Title: Helios X5000 Network Media Player
