I've given up..don't buy this unit! 3 out of 3 were bad

First of all, I'm a computer/media geek, so I'm not new to making things work. Frankly, the Go Video D2730 is of extremely poor quality. Of the three (new) units I received from Go Video (based on my returns), none of them could successfully play a...

Wow... all I can say is wow...

After reading all of the reviews for this product I was a little trepid about buying it. I decided that the bulk of the problems users have is due to lack of computer experience. To test this theory I tried to examine the product thoroughly before...

For people who built their home-networking by themselves ...

Takes some work to get configured, but is well worth it

Plays MPEG4 + MP3's + Streaming Media!!

Just got this. I also bought an extended warranty for it. I like it because #1 it's cheap #2 it's got all the connections on the back that I need #3 it works like a charm. I upgraded the firmware on the thing and now it plays everything. I highly...

Poor Wireless Support

 

Poor Wireless Support

Maybe it works with some of the wireless cards out there, but who can justify purchasing one model after another from their "supported" list until you find one that really works? I purchased a Belkin F5D6020 after seeing it on their "supported" list,...
