I have one of these and I use it for pretty much all of my recorded media now. Mainly 720p video but some 1080p as well. I'm not sure I'd have paid the full price when new but at the price I bought mine for (GB £150 from play.com) I think it's pretty good value. The interface isn't perfect but it's quite useable and it will play most things that are thrown at it. Mine is cabled as I had problem running 1080p wireless. The main issue is that it can't downmix DTS to stereo (codec licencing issues I believe) like it can with AC3 so depending on the file you are playing you may need to convert the audio. There are utils to do this so it's no big deal. A good solution if you already have a server for your Squeezecenter (or a ReadyNAS or similar) -- nolan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nolan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7440 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40689
