  Strengths: Streaming HDEasy SetupDoes what it's supposed to.

  Weaknesses: Pretty slow booting.Occasionally needs to be restarted.

  Overall Evaluation: My family loves these things. I picked up three of them and they work great. All are hard wired so I can't comment on it's wireless performance. It effortlessly handles our ATSC TV PVR requirements (which are ~2-3 hours daily) as well as movies/videos. I have the 2008 TV Pack update for VMC and it works great. The My Movies plug in works very well too. It took a couple tries to get vmcNetflix going, but it too is now working as advertised. I convert all my movies to mp4 or dvr-ms (mp2) so there are no codec issues. The only down sides are that it takes about a minute to boot up and occasionally while using the fwd/rwd extensively, it will hang up and need to be restarted by the switch on the back. I'd say that happens once every couple weeks or so. It's response time isn't as fast as on the PC, but considering it is streaming through the network, I find it completely acceptable. I'd definitely buy it again.
