Western Digital WDBABX0000NBK

Great price for product. Crisp 1080p. Has connections for AVI, HDMI, and 2 USB ports for media/wireless adapters. Easy to setup. Small and blends well with other electronics. Comes with remote control

Takes a while to boot up, odd for device with no HDD. Menus lag and remote makes it worse. Also, this sucker gets HOT-recommend placing flat, not upright (vent slots are on both sides. DON'T cover up.) Apps lag, but that can be fixed with firmware/updates

Plays every file format I have. I run a Windows Home Server and it streams (almost) everything excellently. Even plays my NetFlix in HD. This was my second one, and not a problem one. My wife loves the fact that it is easy to work and we can watch...

My living room WDTV Live+ sometimes stutters on 1080P files, but I don't know if that's because I run that one through an Ethernet-over-Powerline device or because the WDTV Live+ only uses a 10/100 network adapter. I kinda wish it included a giga-bit...

I had 2 Linksys Media Center Extenders (DMA2100) for around three years and always struggled to view things like mkv and listen to things like flac files. This inexpensive and very flexible box enabled all that. Full HD out, very responsive, great...

It doesn't interface directly with Windows Media Center (for setting up recordings, etc) and it won't play the Windows 7 recorded files, but they're easy to convert. Nitpicking, really. If you don't use Media Center, no complaints at all
