  • Dualband 1080p streaming with builtin DVD player; wide format support.
  • Vistaonly; not much reason to pick one of these over an Xbox 360.

  • Abstract:  Heres the formula for the gadget of the year: A device that delivers Internet video on the TV. It sounds simple, but no one has really cracked this market, which should be huge. Apple Inc., Sony Corp., Netgear Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and Netflix Inc. ...

  • Intuitive interface; easy to set up; Draft-N wireless; upscaling DVD player
  • Relatively expensive; relies on Media Center
  • Its dependence on Media Center is a pain, but it blasts away the competition in terms of usability

  • Easy config and network setup. Dual-band wireless. Lots of Internet media compatibility.
  • Wireless high-def traffic reliable only at 5-GHz wireless-n. Needs a Vista PC on the network to function. High price.
  • The Linksys DMA2200 media extender is a solid entry into the Vista-compatible media extender space. There will be more of these from other vendors, but the DMA2200 differentiates itself with dual-band Wi-Fi, an DVD player, and loads of Internet media p...

  • Abstract:  WHEN it came down to video quality, Sonys BDP-S350 Blu-ray player did the best job of upscaling DVD content on a high-definition TV, and delivered noticeably better video than our regular DVD player. Its main benefit is that it can play high-definiti...

  • Easy to set-up; DVD upscaling; 802.11n networking
  • Limited media format support; Expensive against the competition
  • Theres nothing deficient about the DMA2200 - it does its job and it does it well enough. There are, however, more affordable options on the market and, of course, the Xbox 360. This, too, is a Windows Media Center Extender; one thats capable of playi...

  Published: 2008-05-12, review by: pcauthority.com.au

  • Abstract:  Its a close race between this draft-n Vista Media Extender and the Xbox 360 for getting HD video to your TV. If you watch video from your Vista PC, read on. Microsoft’s decision to include its Media Center features in Vista Home Premium dealt a...

  Published: 2008-04-03, review by: goodgearguide.com.au

  • Abstract:  While we like the LinkSYS Media Center Extender with DVD Player DMA2200, we found using Media Center too unreliable to replace our Freeview boxes, let alone a service such as Sky+. And although media streaming and DVD upscaling make this a fully-featur...
