| Pogoplug Cast software | Pogoplug Cast Box | |
| Always-on access For the Pogoplug Cast software to work, the computer that it is installed on must be on and connected to the Internet. The Pogoplug Cast Box plugs into your router and is always on. |
||
| Compatible with external hard drives | ||
| Media is instantly streamable When streaming videos using Pogoplug Cast Box, the videos must be transmitted from your computer to the hard drive connected to your Pogoplug Cast Box. This means that, unlike the Pogoplug Cast software, streaming is not 'instant' but is still available much faster than uploading the files to a remote server. |
||
| No uploads required | ||
| Instantly expandable Simply plug in additional hard drives, SD cards or USB sticks to your Pogoplug Cast Box or to your computer to expand the capacity of your media library. |
||
| No recurring fees | ||
| Free trial Pogoplug Cast Box requires you to purchase a physical device that plugs into your router so we can't offer you a free trial. |
||
| Additional hard drive required | ||
