Digital Multimedia Player?

Has anyone any experience of these?
I love the concept, but unsure. There are many types about, that basically use your PC to wirelessly connect to your TV or HIFI.

The above even has a DVD player.

Are there any recomended models?

Thanks

Hi

I use one of the freecom external harddrive /media players that has the network option as well.
Have never used the network option but works fine as either an external hard drive or connect to the tv [ no computer needed ] and play any of the video or look at the photos or listen to the mp3,s.It can use the divx system to get more on the drive but have found the best software so far is Clonedvdmobile from slyfox .[A buy program but can get a free trial ] and use the generic option seems best.
Can play dvd,s that are copied across just like you have the disc in a dvd player.I got mine from bigpockets and at the time you got a free 80 gig drive.Has remote control of most things including matching the picture and sound to the tv.
I dont know anyone with the one you mention so cant say which is best .
The unit i have is a wired ,so comp/s/rgb connects needed [ phono /s plug ]
And external power supply [ smallish ]runs coolish as well.

bye
