Media Streamers, Set Top Boxes

Review Date: 01-JUN-2009

Dvico TViX R-3300

RRP: $399.00

The DVICO TViX R-3300 performs well in terms of support for different file formats, network playback speeds and image quality. The difficult-to-navigate EPG may prove troublesome for those who primarily want to watch television, and limited network access could prove irritating, but overall the DVICO TViX R-3300 is a versatile personal video recorder and set-top box.

Sangean WFT-1D

RRP: $599.00

The Sangean WFT-1D DAB+ media streamer is stylish, and it can receive digital radio. You can also use it to listen to Internet radio and play shared media over a network. We were disappointed at the inability to pause or fast forward tracks, however.

Iomega Screenplay Pro HD

RRP: $429.00

Boasting a lot of storage and the ability to record from external sources, the Screenplay Pro HD has some merit. However, the lack of 1080p support makes it easy to pass by.

Iomega ScreenPlay TV Link

RRP: $149.95

If you do not know how to hook up a PC to your television, the ScreenPlay TV Link offers a convenient way to play multimedia content.

Western Digital WD TV (HD Media Player)

RRP: $199.00

If you want an easy, hassle-free way to transfer HD content to your TV, you could do a lot worse than the WD TV. While short on fancy features, it offers a simple solution for computer-free media playback, including high-definition movies. Highly recommended.

Logitech Squeezebox Boom

RRP: $649.95

Apart from a few small grievances we feel that the Logitech Squeezebox Boom is far and away the best all-in-one music streamer on the market.

Chord Electronics Chordette Gem

RRP: $399.00

At around £400, this is not a cheap solution to hearing music from your mobile phone or PC. But aside from a second string to its bow — USB audio playback — it stands as only the world’s second such product that can retrieve music wirelessly from your A2DP Bluetooth-equipped mobile phone. The first is the company’s own QBD 76 DAC, at nearly eight times the price.

Tivoli Audio NetWorks Radio

RRP: $979.00

Thanks to the Tivoli NetWorks radio there is now no need for you to sit at your computer to listen to streaming Internet music. It does have to make a few compromises, however — in design and sound quality.

Sonos Zone Player 120

RRP: $499.00

If you already own a Sonos system, the new Zone Players offer no compelling reason to upgrade, unless you have significant range problems. But for new buyers, the updated hardware should make the system even more reliable, especially in large homes.

Emprex ME1

RRP: TBA

For a casual user who wants to stream digital video, photo and music files as well as watch stored high-definition content, the ME1 works well. If you can handle the lack of digital video connections and the speed of the interface, the ME1 is a good option.

Logitech Transporter

RRP: $3299.95

Whatever music you want to listen to, the Transporter is able to take it from your computer to your stereo without any perceivable quality loss. The interface is seamless and direct connection to the online SqueezeNetwork means you don’t even need a computer. If you can handle the high price, you’ll get the quality you paid for.

Logitech Squeezebox Duet

RRP: $599.95

The updated Squeezebox Duet from Logitech is one of the best music streaming devices on the market, with only a few flaws.

D-Link DSM-330

RRP: $399.95

D-Link's DSM-330 is a product that excels at streaming media over a wired network, but struggles a bit with the combination of wireless connection and high-definition video.

Sonos ZoneBridge 100

RRP: $189.00

While we experienced some problems using a Sonos system with a ZoneBridge, they weren't out of the ordinary (unfortunately) for network streaming devices. We'd still recommend a ZoneBridge if you're going to spring for a Sonos system and your router is in an area of the house where you don't plan on listening to tunes.

Mediagate MG-450HD

RRP: $379.00

The best part about the Mediagate is its versatility. It can play files off a hard drive, a USB stick or off a network. The worst part is its interface and setup procedure, which took us a while to connect to our wireless network.
