Linksys DMA2200 Expert Reviews

Is streaming at 1080p with Linksys' new Media Center Extender worth a deal with the Vista devil?

Dual-band 1080p streaming with built-in DVD player; wide format support.

There are a number of new media extender products arriving at this year's CES, but Linksys was good enough to give us a sneak peek at its new DMA2200 before the show. The DMA2200 is a prime example of what you can expect to see from the Windows-oriented m...

A media streamer with a great interface, but it demands Media Center

The Linksys DMA2200 Media Center Extender is another device that streams music, videos and photos from your PC to your TV and hifi but, unlike so many others, it gives a great first impression.

Microsoft's decision to include its Media Center features in its standard Vista Home Premium OS dealt a blow to manufacturers of separate, entertainment PCs. Instead of having to buy or build a specific machine with a specific flavour of Windows, now even...
