    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: small size, HDMI and USB 2.0 connection, remote

    Weaknesses:somitimes doesn't work

    Overall Evaluation: It is a great divice when it works as it supposed to be.The main reason I bought it for is to translate video files(and also pictures and music) from my computer room to a living room. While there is no issue with music and pictures the video files have many playback problems.Also, Nero software that comes with this D-Link is not a best one. I tryed it but end up with TwonkyMedia.So, this product requires some work before it becomes fully functional.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Plays most common file formats available today, HDMI port, 802.11g + RJ-45 hook-up, small footprint.

    Weaknesses:Wireless can be problematic. Best kept to people that are tech savvy.

    Overall Evaluation: This media server handles the most common file types in use today like MP3, WAV, WMA, Ogg, MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG4, AVI, WMV, DVR-MS, XVID, JPEG, BMP, PNG, TIFF and GIF. It comes with an HDMI port so it will mesh well with today's newest receivers and other home video equipment. You can stream content via 802.11g or, for better reliability, hard wired via ethernet cables. It's a small unit that lacks the ability to add a hard drive like some other media servers on the market today. It has a USB port so you can easily display content from your flash drive. Also included is a full function remote. The included software isn't the best but TwonkyMedia works well.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: small, HDMI connector, decent software

    Weaknesses:NOT HD!, crappy remote, poor connectivity

    Overall Evaluation: This network media player is not capable of wireless HD video playback, even if you put it right next to your wireless router. If you plan to use it for HD video, use it via Ethernet, or buy a Pre-N player for that.
