hey guys it's brandon minimun guest editor for John for lakers calm and I just want to wrap up the coverage on the Voodoo set-top box by offering some pros some cons and help you decide if it's the right set-top box for you so let's start with some pros first of all the Voodoo set-top box is totally refined and what I mean by that is that everything is super intuitive the remote feels good at hand the interface on the screen is fast it's easy to get around finding out how to download a movie on the Buddha boxes probably as easy as picking up an iphone and trying to figure out how to make a call for the first time it's just very intuitive number two is that the Voodoo set-top box says 1080p uncompressed content which means that the audio is super clear the picture is almost blu-ray quality and as far as I know there's no other set-top box that offers such high quality video and audio which is really great if you have a great TV and a good sound system and finally the Voodoo box has voodoo labs meaning you can get YouTube content picasa and a whole ton of on-demand TV content in fact I haven't really turned on my cable box too much in the last few days because there's just so much content on voodoo labs that I really haven't had a need to watch TV all this stuff is on the Voodoo box alright so let's talk about some cons the selection on the voodoo box is really good but it's not fantastic there are a few movies that I search for that they just didn't have budu is a relatively new company so probably in the near future that's probably going to change completely and they're going to have almost every title that you could possibly want number two is that the renting window on the Voodoo box is only 24 hours and this is the case for all set top boxes early and I think it's kind of silly if you come home from work on a friday night or school and you start a movie and you finish it on a Sunday afternoon or Sunday morning the 24 hour period has ran out right on the Voodoo box you can extend that viewing period for a dollar and ninety-nine cents but it's kind of silly because you already paid the money to rent it right if you go to blockbuster and rent a movie you can have it for three four or five days sometimes all for four or five dollars and finally the Buddha box is not wireless the way you buy it from the store it comes it has a wireless adapter that you can buy cost forty nine dollars it's actually on amazon for 39 but you know devices like the Apple TV they have wireless built right in because I don't think most people have a wireless or wired Ethernet connection right next to their TV so that's that's unfortunate it adds to the cost so overall I think that if you already have a set-top box you have an Apple TV or if you have a roku player or ps3 or xbox 360 tivo etc the Voodoo set-top box may not offer enough to compel you to upgrade but if you're looking for a set-top box for the first time I think the Voodoo box is a fantastic choice I know you'll be happy with it there's just so much content it's a really well thought out system right now it's ninety-nine dollars in good vodacom and buy it from there they show you other places to buy it and they actually sort of brought down the price even more since when we started this series when I did the unboxing I mentioned that it's ninety nine dollars but you have to pay forty nine dollars extra for content but now it's just ninety nine dollars flat so I hope you enjoyed this series and i hope i helped you to determine if the voodoo box is something that you would want that's it for now
