cashpoint Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 What are they actually like, been thinking about one of these as sick of watching downloaded video on my pc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 Depends on how you hook them up, I'm using it wireless and it works fine but got quite thick walls in the house so sometimes the signals a bit crap, thinking of buying those powered sockets so that I can use the powerlines in the house. All my music, video and pictures stream down without an issue, my reason for getting it was because I download all my viewing material now (lost, heroes and so on) and wanted to watch it in the living room.

Jake Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Sorry I'm totally ignorant about these things. Do they have a hard disk? Do you connect to it from your PC and send files to it's HD? I have a DVD player that can play mpeg, DivX, XviD, avi etc but obviously I have to burn stuff to CD or DVD first, I guess I wouldn't need CDs or DVDs if I had this, right? Can it play all common video formats ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share Posted February 22, 2007 It's a receiver and picks up all the files that you have stored on your hard disk on your pc, the actual unit has no hard disk at all. Mines is set up so that it reads my vids, photos and music folders from my main pc Plays all the formats you listed Jake and yup, it just really saves you burning cd's! It will also pick up any playlists you create with your music program on the PC, good for me, got around 9000 tracks on the PC so the TV just becomes one big jukebox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cashpoint Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 they are a cool peice of kit as friend had one of the first media streamers but as it was one of the first the concept was good but the delivery was bad as it couldn't play some formats but the Netgear unit can.
