Linksys DMA 2100

Once the extender is switched on and configured, you’ll see its user interface for the first time. It is nearly identical to that of the Windows Media Center, with only a few options such as “Burn to Disc” and “Shut Down Computer” absent. All other menus are identical to those of the PC version. If you’ve used a Media Center before, you’ll feel right at home. As stated above, the system is controlled exclusively using the IR remote control. Response time between pressing a button and the corresponding action could be shorter, though. Frequently, we found ourselves pressing a button twice, only to end up on the wrong menu item or selecting the wrong action.

Why not use an XBox 360?

If you have a MCPC (or any HTPC) why not just plug it into your TV?

OK - this box is probably a bit smaller than an HTPC but $250 for a a bit of a smaller box?

The 2200 is just a reboxed, rebranded Kiss networked DVD player.

OK the TV streaming is new, but this is hardly earth-shattering innovation.
