    Strengths: pretty easy setup. easy network connection. OK docs Good forum for users on their site.

    Weaknesses: needs a firmware update (pending for a while) CANNOT PLAY ISO format unless menu feature is intact. ISO playback feature is "experimental" per Ziova Had some problems with WMV playback

    Overall Evaluation: I bought this unit strictly to be able to stream ISOs from my server collection via SMB wired network to my TV. Only after purchase and troubleshooting the unit for 4 hrs did I find out that it will only play ISOs that have menus included. Most of mine do not have menus therefore the unit is back in the box and in the closet. It was a cheap gamble at $200 though. songs played fine. I have a Galaxy Tvisto HDD enclosure which plays non-menu ISOs just fine but of course its not networked for streaming.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Not Heavy to lift

    Weaknesses: will not play music or video or streams

    Overall Evaluation: Aweful product should not be released. Many other people have sent the product back according to the products own forum. Hope you never have to go through what I went through.

Ziova Clearstream CS510 High Definition Network Media Player Review

by Lincoln Spector

- The Ziova is a pretty competent digital media receiver. Physically, it's an attractive gadget--bigger than an Apple TV but smaller than the wide Netgear and D-Link boxes. The front-panel LCD, which displays one line of scrolling text information such as ID3 tag data and current activity, is big enough to be legible from across the room--a welcome exception to the rule.
