    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Easy to setup wired or wireless.

    Weaknesses:It has to be wired to play high def. Otherwise, you will see frame by frame

    Overall Evaluation: This player is easy to set up either wired or wireless. If set up in wireless, the signal is weak and it take a long time to look for the files. The remote button is also confusing when you want to change Sound or Video modes. It doesn't show on the screen. If you want to use this player you better run a cat5e ethernet cable at your house. I had to return for an exchange because the first one stopped working after a few days. I called Dlink customer service and we tried to solve the problem. At the end they told me to send it back to get a new one.

    Duration of ownership: 1 Days

    Strengths: Easy to setup, works/streams nicely, USB port.

    Weaknesses:Limited format capabilities, pricey, a little glitchy.

    Overall Evaluation: This device fits in nicely with most people?s entertainment center, but if you're just looking for the ability to stream content, go elsewhere. For basically the same price, you could get an Xbox 360 and have a more capable media extender and also a HD gaming console! Granted this device is sleeker and generates no noise compared to the 360, but that's not something that I care about. If the price were lower this would be a great device, but at $200 or more, go with a something else.Seems to be very selective as to what it will play, would not play recognize video recorded with XP media center, but if I changed the extension, it played just fine. Wish the device had a "view all files" mode, but it only shows you the files it thinks it can play. Also very glitchy when it comes to recognizing media servers and folders. Had to reboot several times because it quit recognizing media folders off my desktop. Once I'd restart the device, the problem would go away.And I could not get it to recognize my other wirelessly connected computers at all, must only recognize devices/computers hard lined into the wireless router... which sucks because I have 2 other computers (1 XP MCE, 1 Vista MCE) that I'd like to be able to pull video off of. Will continue to troubleshoot that problem and update if it can be done.
