Network media streamer ; enormous file playback compatibility ; can access media RSS feeds and play many online video files ; includes user-replaceable 500GB hard drive ; 802.11a/b/g/n compatible ; doesn't require Windows Media Center ; plays YouTube ...

A bit pricey ; occasionally crashes ; can't play any DRM iTunes Store video purchases ; no access to Flash-based online video ; and no streaming video services, like Netflix or Amazon Video On Demand

By Nick Mokey (digitaltrends.com)

Streaming standard-def movies from computers and remote hard drives to televisions has been old hat for years now. But for high-def connoisseurs looking to step up to the good stuff...

Handles wide array of file formats ; easy setup, for the most part ; 500GB of internal space ; clean menu system ; decent remote

EVA 9150-great addition to my living room; not to my bank

By Cardinal-Red (ciao.co.uk)

This machine is fantastic - it has even converted the wife who is as Luddite as they come.

Massive file range, incredible wireless networking, quiet, looks good

Simply too costly right now - extra features do not justify price
