H.264 has emerged as the HD codec of choice, although youll also find material encoded with Microsofts VC1 codec out there as well. Both are used on HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc. MPEG 2 is still hanging in there, but for HD material its really not up to...
Netgears EVA8000 really should be a fantastic media player, but it currently falls flat thanks to two issues. The major clanger is its lack of high bit-rate content support. Theres a small chance that this could be rectified in future firmware updat...

Netgear's EVA8000, aka the Digital Entertainer HD, takes the media streaming features of its EVA700 into the high definition age. Like the EVA700 (see Wireless that works, PC World May 2007), the EVA8000 offers both wired and wireless connectivity. The de...

We like Netgear’s EVA8000—a lot. Its industrial design fits in with the rest of our AV gear, its user interface is as elegant and polished as it is easy to use, it supports resolutions up to 1080p with an HDMI port, and that’s just the beginning. But i...
Interface support for popular Internet media; program guide and PVR for PC TV tuners.

High definition has become the technological buzz-phrase of 2007. Here at TrustedReviews we've been banging on about it for ages, but this is the year it has gone global. You can tell because everyone's using it, from high street flat screen salesmen to j...

Suddenly, with the advent of Apple TV, it seems everyone wants a wireless media extender to stream files from a computer to the TV. Apple TV is easy to set up, fairly small, and an excellent product for iTunes users. By contrast, the Netgear Digital...
Very versatile media extender. Plays lots of DRM-protected files. Can access YouTube and Flickr over the Internet. Records TV via your computer. Plays content directly off USB drives.
Crashes more than Billy Joel. The complex setup process may prove tricky even for networking pros. Interface graphics and device itself are ugly. No hard drive. Cant auto-update its media library.
Setting it up was a nightmare, the device crashed easily, and it isnt attractive, to boot. Still, when its up and running, the product has an impressive feature set. If Apple TV is for the iPod-familiar, hands-off user, then the Netgear is for the pa...
