4.0 out of 5 stars Good potential, but not for non-technical users, May 15, 2007

I really like this device, it's got great potential. However I should note that this unit is for techical users - not-technical users will probably be better off with iTV.

This box plays a lot more formats and has a lot more features - but it compromises on ease of use. If you are the kind of person that likes to tinker - this is definitely a good fit for you. Make sure that 1st thing you do after plugging it in (which was really quick and painless) is register on NetGear forums and request access to beta firmware.

Beta firmware addresses a lot of stability issues of original firmware and adds many good useful features. And access to beta firmware is free, also you can roll back to original one if you'd like at any time.

So far it played anything I tried (about 5-6 different formats). Firmware is being actively worked on, developers are active on the forums and actually listen to feature requests.

Overall I'm very happy with my EVA8000, it... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Not ready for Prime Time, May 6, 2007
By 
This review is from: Netgear EVA8000 Digital Entertainer HD (Personal Computers)
This product needs some software and firmware upgrades to make it a viable media center. Specifically the UI structure still seems to be in Beta mode. Setup was painless (altho if you are VISTA OS make sure you upgrade the firmware), Internet Radio worked well and playing AVI & WMV files worked well, it could not find my iTunes playlists either. But the biggest bust is the confused state of the UI which makes this product unusable (especially for VOB files). Tech Support was from abroad and was awful, they're not familiar with the product and the techy was shooting from the hip.

Looks like i'm going back to my XBOX360 as my media center.

4.0 out of 5 stars could do much more, December 1, 2007

Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Netgear EVA8000 Digital Entertainer HD (Personal Computers)
The main things I use this device for are:
1) playback of ripped DVDs
2) playback of high-definition home videos

I haven't owned a cd player in over five years since I started ripping my music cd's and playing them back through mp3 players and audio streamers. Now that I can purchase music online, physical discs are quickly becoming obsolete for me as well. My hope was that with this video streamer, I would be able to do with my DVD collection what I did with my CD collection: box it up and put it into storage. This device almost lets me do that, but with some pretty disappointing limitations.

DVD Playback
First of all, this device does play back unencrypted DVD's (IFO files). This is an essential feature for a video server in my opinion, yet mysteriously this support is not advertised in the product description.

Playback of DVD's looks perfect. If you've ripped a DVD to a hard drive, you can play it back through the EVA8000 on your HDTV... Read more
