The brand Mede8er is a kind of new to me. It was developed by Sanji Electronics who makes digital media players based on the Realtek chip which is known for manufacturing sound and network modules for computer parts. According to the Mede8er presenter during the event, it is a South African company which has been in the industry for 2 years; in which it has now more than 40 distributors nationwide.

  1. Hi I saw this link from Facebook. You said review but where’s the review? What does the UI look like? did you actually test the unit? like for downloading from torrents? how is the streaming performance over wireless? i don’t think this qualifies a review unless you’re not yet done with the post. Please let me know if there’s a review already.
