If you look at the hardware and specs beneath the EVA9150, it's easy to see why home theater buffs got so wound up...


Highs: Handles wide array of file formats; easy setup, for the most part; 500GB of internal space; clean menu system; decent remote

Lows: Some software installation woes; loaded with bugs and glitches; unintuitive audio player; slow photo viewer; not enough documentation for less intuitive features

Where to buy:

Introduction

Streaming standard-def movies from computers and remote hard drives to televisions has been old hat for years now. But for high-def connoisseurs looking to step up to the good stuff – pure 1080p digital content – extreme file size and bandwidth constraints have severely hampered streaming and storage. The EVA9150 solves that issue with 802.11n networking capabilities for more bandwidth, and an onboard 500GB drive for storage and buffering, making it one of the few boxes capable of streaming Blu-ray quality video. If you’re looking to go discless, this machine’s the ticket – but is it worth the price?
