Netgear Digital Entertainer Elite

The EVA 9150 is an excellent performer and is easy to set up

Wide range of format support ; excellent performance ; built-in 11n Wifi ; good access to online content ; easy to set up and use

Very expensive

It's difficult to think of a better streamer in the current market, but you're paying a lot of money for this level of performance

MSI Wind U115 netbook

MSI Wind U115 netbook

By Orestis Bastounis

Despite its unique hybrid storage the Wind didn't blow us away

Hybrid storage ; insanely long battery life ; eco mode

Bland design ; mediocre keyboard ; more expensive than other netbooks

While the U115 is a solid netbook, MSI has neglected to improve some of the poorer aspects of the original Wind's design

Gear4 Video Buddy iPod accessory

Play media stored on your iPod on your TV or stereo

The Video Buddy is a tidy, reasonably priced device and, in the absence of a (more expensive) iPod dock with dedicated video-out support and a remote control, is certainly a nice way to view video and photos on a TV or play music through a more ...

Sling Media Sling Catcher media streamer

Watch video from a Slingbox, USB device or PC

All three modes work well if your PC and network are up to scratch

Fast network needed for good results ; no wireless built-in ; no UPnP streaming ; quite expensive

Does its job well, but expensive and limited if you don't have a Slingbox

Humax Foxsat-HDR digital TV recorder

The first hard drive recorder for Freesat

Great pictures on HD ; easy to use ; PC archiving

Some interface quirks ; remote design ; not ideal for multi-satellite users

Binatone T430

A new entry into the GPS market from Binatone, with an interesting feature

Clear and accurate navigation ; customisable ; supplied camera integrates well ; reasonably priced

Media playback doesn't work while navigating

Binatone's T430 is an effective navigation tool and, while it lacks a few extras, is great value for money

Sony Vaio VGX-TP2B home entertainment PC

Windows Media Center in a strange new shape

Home entertainment PCs are designed to be left on much of the time and, drawing a maximum of 120W, this one won't cost the earth in electricity bills if you do so. It's also fairly quiet - there's a low hum, but it's not too annoying and you certainly ...
