Pros: *The DLNA part allows equally credentialed units to "talk" *Interface is easy to understand and manipulate *Very intuitive in terms of setup and connectivity

Cons: *Search is a little cumbersome for a movie in a mass of them *Sometimes a little flakey when others are on the network (PCs) *Some ambiguity in DLNA certification (twist the standard)

Overall Review: This unit works much better than a many that I have tried in the past. The DLNA certification is probably the most important factor for this kind of device. DLNA is a standard that allows all DLNA machines to communicate on a basic level so as to promote "plug-and-play". Connecting a NAS with a media server on it allows the device to access terribytes of media like music, pictures, and movies on your TV. The front-end (user interface) is a little difficult to manage in that it scrolls line by line instead of jumping between folders, so getting to your movie is a little time consuming to navigate (but not too bad though)...* should not complain for having so many movies to look though though :-) The unit looks on any devices (like computers or mass storage) with a DLNA media server on it. It will tell you what devices it finds so you can look though the shared files on them (organization of your files on the source is key here by the way for any media device so you can find them).
