Review Summary |
When the X5000 works, it's among the very best home media centers we've ever played with. It's not, however, perfect for design and implementation. |
While the Netgear EVA9150 is far from perfect, it offers an easy way to access the widest array of digital audio, photo and especially, video files for the do-it-yourself crowd. |
More info |
If it played DivX and XviD, the EZ-Stream would have been an awesome big-screen supplement. As it stands, this premium-priced media server's solid audio feature makes it a suitable replacement for the mini-combo instead of the DVD player. |
