Buffalo has released a new model (NS-N100) of the network recorder "nasne". It is a product that inherited the model of the same name sold by Sony Interactive Entertainment (then Sony Computer Entertainment), and has evolved some functions such as large-capacity drive support while keeping the appearance almost the same.
Because of its lineage, this product has a strong impression of being a peripheral device for PlayStation 4 (PS4), but in reality, even in an environment without PS4, it is a general-purpose ( It is a product with high efficiency.
This time, we will check to what extent it can be used in combination with iPad and Android, and how it differs from competing tuner devices from the perspective of users who are new to this product.

Connect the additional HDD to the USB portThis product has a built-in storage of 2TB for recording, and an external HDD of up to 6TB can be added. The previous model had a limit of 2TB (as you might have guessed, due to the limitation of FAT32), so this new model will be attractive to users who record a large amount of TV programs.
In addition to this, the differences from the conventional model are summarized on the product page, but what you should be aware of is that unlike the conventional model, which was fanless, a new silent fan is installed. From the point of view of heat dissipation, it is safer to have a built-in fan, but it will be annoying for users who expect silence. Ingenuity seems to be necessary, such as installing it at a distance from the bedside.
Although this product can be accessed from multiple devices, only one device can be viewed at the same time. When you launch the app on the second device, you'll be asked to disconnect the connected device, so you literally "kick it out." However, because of this specification, even if you go out while watching at home and connect from outside, there is no inconvenience that you can not watch until you return home and close the application.
Only one device can be connected to nasne at the same time. When I start the app on the second device, a message like this is displayedNext, let's try using the app.
