this is probably a Noob question  The Mede8er has build in functionalities to browse the internet. However, since there is no kind of virus protection whatsoever I wonder if the device (and internal HD) gets exposed to malware (viruses, ...) by surfing the web. Thanks, Filip |

the mede8er is linux (sort of) based, so it's pretty safe regarding viruses. You can't really browse the Internet, only preconfigured sites are available, thus reducing the risk of running into some "strange" place  |

ehhh what do you meen *mognons*? Of course you can brows the internet!
I do it all the time, even though it hangs/reboots the X2 pretty often on some more compex sites (seems to maybe be cookie releated).

Sorry, I've not made myself clear enough: you can visit ONLY the sites configured in section Internet Media, you CANNOT type an address somewhere and visit ANY site. Or can you?  |

My fault: I didn't think of Goggle... You should be able to reach almost any site searching for it in Google...
Never mind, the point stands: mede8er is linux based, thus the risk of getting "infected" is quite low...

And you can also reach any page without google.
Just press one of the color buttons on the remote to get the browser input http line.

I confess: I never use Internet Media cause I don't want to connect a USB keyboard and mouse to my mede8er and without keyboard and mouse there's not a lot you can do... Please apologize my disinformation  |

Hi, Probably a silly question but... how do I navigate google with just the remote or is this not possible? Thanks in advance. Paul. |

You can change between scroll and input mode with the remote control using the color buttons on the remote. See the layout of the remote control in the user manual and check the color button descriptions. http://www.mede8erforum.com/index.php/board,50.0.html |

Browsing the internet - Is it safe yeah .. is it safe . .. bu it will depends for who ? regarding browsing to http: 's others then the ones embedded inside fw : you can do it very well (it is more hard to type then to browse ) but mede8er wasn't build as a www browser or navigator . it was made to be used with web pages optimised for this type of machines. if is it safer for viruses ? yes .... this fw it's linux based and no viruses problems but if you have internal storage this can be attacked and store scripts that can infest your other devices based on any OS. usually this scripts can be easily detected and removed but you never know . a good antivirus is good until only one virus will pass his guards .... then that antivirus isn't that good anymore  |
