D-Link DSM-330

With the massive influx of digital media in the past decade or so, consumers have become aware of the need for some way to use their media somewhere other than a computer. More specifically, we want to be able to play our music and movies and view our digital pictures from the comfort of the couch, and with the high definition glory of a 72" plasma television. Apple, of course, released the Apple TV. However, other electronics companies have tried to come up with good home media center solutions that don't require a full computer running Windows XP Media Center Edition, or Windows Vista Premium or Ultimate.

The D-Link DSM-330 wireless media streamer carries great promise for watching files on your TV that you've downloaded from the Internet. With support for DivX and Xvid, the possibilities are excellent, plus picture and sound quality are both impressive for a streamer at this price

Forget about Apple TV’s closed shop – this open platform streamer will get video from your PC to TV no matter what the codec

A competent wired and wireless media streamer

Video geeks will love the new D-Link DSM-330 DivX Connected HD Media Player, a media receiver that enables you-to stream high-res videos, photos, and music from PC to TV. I’ve been playing around with this $299 device for a few days now, and even though I’m not an expert with digital video, the DSM-330 is very flexible and a lot of fun to use.
