Remember this useful little set-top box from Netgear? Well, it’s available. That’s pretty much all there is to this post. It’s a nice little net-connected box that’ll stream all the usual stuff, upconvert whatever signal suits your fancy to 1080p, and it has a couple unique features that require you to buy more than one of the things.
Personally I’d go for a more readily tweakable platform like a cracked 360, but I’m more of a tech guy than say my parents, for whom this would probably be a great option.
Yes it has great feature and look hopefully it is new version what is it warranty period and are you provide on sight service
$400??
Pass.
Hmmmm…. for that price I could get 4x WD TV HD media players, or 2x PCH boxes.
I know they’re not drop-in replacements, esp. the WD, but at $99, and full 1080p, the WD is a slick little box.
PCH adds DTS & networking (although I hear hacking is underway on the WD to allow networking via a USB adapter).
To be competitive in this market, it’s gotta be $199 or less.
Expect to see these on Woot, FatWallet, etc… by the holiday season.
Plus, if Netgear still continues with their “made in India” engineering trend, we can expect the thing to lock up & crash several times a day.
